The Third Commandment

Since our message yesterday, I have had a couple of you share with me ways that you think we can "elevate the renown of our personal God Yaweah in a worthless manner" (or as the NIV says - misuse the name of the Lord our God). I thought I would start a list here and see what you out there can add to it.

Let's go about this in a productive format:

God's reputation is honored when people who carry His name:

- are contributers instead of a consumers

- set aside their own reputation to advance His purposes

- avoid comparison

- work together without grumbling

- keep their conversation clean and encouraging

- mend relationships

- continually devote time to spiritual growth

- befriend the friendless

- help the helpless

- love with no strings attached

- watch over single moms, and widows

- protect the vulnerable

- maximize our opportunities to speak of God and for God

Add to the list.

OR, even better, give tangible examples.

Add as much as you would like.
