Keeping the third commandment requires taking some practical steps. First of all, talk about it. Most people have no idea of the power of words and what is behind them. Keep the commandment out in the open. When you know your kids hear foul language, talk to them about it. Let them know what it means and why not to use such language. If someone in your life is a regular swearer, take a calm moment to explain why it matters.
Second, constantly critique yourself, your words, and your lifestyle. Don't disobey the commandment by default. Ask yourself if you are a true advertisement for the transforming power of Christ. Do you honor the name of God in all you say and do? Do you obey the third commandment?
Finally, develop an awareness of who God is. When you know Him, you won't be fooled into worshipping an image you made yourself. You won't empty His nae in naive, foolish talk. You won't wear His name while acting like it means nothing to you. Learn to know Him, Let Him live through you!
