The Misuse Of God's Name #1 of 2

May 3, 2011
Many Olympic stars hope to make names for themselves with their gold medals. A winning name can mean a lot of money. Runners in the race of the Christian life know that God’s name is holy, and is not to be misused by swearing, cursing, or improper oath-taking. Keeping His name set apart was so important to God that He wrote a command about it with His finger on a tablet of stone.

Death no longer has dominion over the one who follows Christ. When the tomb was found empty, death lost its power.

This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

God said, “I am the Lord, that is My name. My glory I will not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” No ambiguity there. It’s clear that God will not tolerate the worship of images. Does that mean crosses, crucifixes, or icons? Some people find these objects very meaningful. Do they violate God’s commandment?

Runners in the race of life need to understand God’s commands prohibiting images meant to represent Him. People disobey this commandment daily, giving worship to a vast array of idols, carvings, pictures, and icons.

There is one area in which God tolerates no competition. He wants to be supreme in our lives, and He made that clear by writing on a tablet of stone the first of the ten commandments. It’s commandment number one for a reason, and we invite you to listen.

Those who run life’s race know that God’s moral law has the same force. The commandments He gave to Moses define His character, and His expectations of our behavior. Today we’ll learn that God’s moral law shows us who we really are.

The great moral code God gave to Moses contains principles that govern our relationships with God and with each other. That code shows us who we are, and more importantly, who God is. Today, we begin a series on The Ten Commandments.

When Jesus was preparing to raise Lazarus from the grave, He wanted there to be no mistake that Lazarus was indeed dead. That is why He waited four days before displaying His glory and power in calling Lazarus from the tomb. Jesus specializes in giving new life to those dead in their sins and separated from God. Today we learn why you and I should believe.

Our greatest fear is death. Our greatest pain is losing a loved one to death. A friend’s death caused Jesus to weep. Jesus has power over death, and displaying the power and glory of God, Jesus cried out “Lazarus, come forth!” Today: we will see why the risen Christ is the Lord of Death and how He holds the keys of life and death for everyone who has ever lived.

Jesus healed a blind man’s eyes. Many today yearn for a miracle as well, and turn to faith-healers for deliverance. The healing works of Christ were complete. “Once I was blind, but now I can see.” Can the same be said for the miracles of televangelists? Today: lessons from the Great Physician on miracles of healing.

One of the toughest questions we can ever ask is why God allows some people to be born with severe disabilities. Some of us who run life’s race do so without sight, without working limbs, or with other impairments. Many cry out to God, asking why they’re afflicted in these ways. Today: we will hear one reason why, a reason that comes from the lips of Jesus Himself.
