The Ten Commandments: A Biblical Theology of God's Name
•
Episode 293
Taking the Lord's name in vain is about more than just speech. Mark Vance and Emily Jensen unpack the Third Commandment and show how it’s about more than avoiding certain words—it’s about living as representatives of God in the world.
Together, they discuss how God’s people carry his name, what it means to bear that name well, and how this commandment speaks directly into everyday life—from the words we speak to the way we act as his witnesses.
