OMG!!!???
I feel like I am seeing this statement more and more recently and I have to be honest...IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! Why is it so easy for us to casually and flipantly throw the Lord's name around so irreverantly? Do we not have any concept of what we are actually saying? I regularly hear people saying, "Oh my God". I think I read it even more on blogs and facebook. Most of the time it is not really even used in a very dramatic context. I can't see where God has anything to do with what they are talking about. I find myself dying to just ask them, "What does god have to do with this?", and see if they even realize what they have said. How do we so easily disassociate this statement with the 3rd commandment in Exodus 20 which very clearly says "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain." How have we become so desensitized to this? I am quite certain we are all creative enough to come up with a better way for expressing ourselves. At least I hope so!
