0153 | The Ten: Do Not Bear the Lord’s Name in Vain. Living in a Way That Honors the Name We Carry.

📖 What does it really mean to “not take the Lord’s name in vain”? It’s not just about what we say—it’s about how we live. In this episode, Pastors Stephen and Nate unpack the third commandment, showing how we bear God’s name through our actions, attitudes, and integrity. When we misrepresent God with our lives or misuse His name for personal justification, we violate a command that carries deep spiritual weight. This conversation challenges believers to live with reverence, humility, and a greater awareness of what it means to carry the name of Christ in a culture that desperately needs to see Him clearly.Show Notes: "You Shall Not Bear the Name of the Lord in Vain"🔥 Main Topics Covered:✔️ What the third commandment truly means beyond speech.✔️ How we carry God's name through our witness and lifestyle.✔️ The dangers of hypocrisy and misusing “God told me.”✔️ Why bearing God's name is about identity, not just behavior.✔️ How reverence for God's name shapes our integrity and mission.Key Scriptures:📖 Exodus 20:7 – “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain…”📖 Acts 3:6 – “In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—get up and walk!”📖 Acts 11:26 – The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.📖 Philippians 2:9–10 – “…the name that is above every name…”📖 2 Corinthians 5:20 – “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors…”Key Takeaways:🔹 The third commandment is about how we represent God, not just avoiding profanity.🔹 Misusing God's name to justify sin or personal decisions is a serious misstep.🔹 Christians are called to be faithful, humble ambassadors of Christ.🔹 God’s name carries weight—so should the lives of those who bear it.🔹 Honoring God’s name starts in the heart and is revealed in our actions.🎧 Listen now to rediscover the call to represent Jesus well in a world watching your witness.🔗 Watch & Listen Everywhere:🎙️ Website: https://www.undergodpodcast.com📺 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@UnderGodPodcast🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Eg0JfNHL9mEUSrowLrQe6🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/under-god-with-pastor-stephen-martin/id1749695148📹 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/UnderGod👥 Let’s Connect:📌 Instagram: @undergodpod📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/469899725535991📌 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@undergodpodcast📌 X: https://x.com/undergodpod📌 Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@UnderGodPod💬 Question for You:Have you ever used the phrase “God told me…” without truly testing it?How do you know when a word is really from Him?
