When we think of the Third Commandment, we usually think of profanity or bad language. But taking the Lord's name in vain goes much deeper than the words we avoid—it’s about how we represent Him in our daily lives.
In this sermon, Dr. Jerry Shields continues our series, "The Necessity of Intolerance," with a look at Deuteronomy 5:11. Together, we explore what it means to guard against irreverence and move beyond casual or hypocritical faith. Discover how carrying the name of Jesus influences our words, our integrity, and our genuine worship every day.
