A few weeks ago in our alternative newspaper Tucson Weekly, Tom Danehy posted this article about the third commandment. (Or second commandment since he is a Roman Catholic.)

I found it amazing that a Tucson alternative newspaper actually has a good discussion of what it means to take God name in vain. (A better translation would be, ‘Do not use the name of God frivolously.’) The writer focuses on claiming to speak for God where God has not spoken.

If he just went a little further and recognized that we are all guilty of breaking that command which should show us our need of grace.
