All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name, House of the Lord, Because of Who You Are, Goodness of God, Your Great Name

Have you ever uttered the phrase “Oh my G_D”, or its equivalent in Filipino (or your native tongue)? Do you consider it as a “harmless” expression, or just a careless phrase that has become part of your vocabulary?

7 “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain. 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.”
