"Don't make me wash your mouth out with soap!" You may have heard this threat at some point growing up. Most certainly a "filthy mouth" was reflected in attitude or disrespect. But it can also be seen in crude language. Most people believe the third commandment deals solely with that. However, taking the Lord's name in vain goes beyond colorful language. It points to the tongue of a man or woman and how it can be a vessel for blessing or cursing. God's command to watch your mouth is because we too need to guard our tongue! Our conversation either speaks of the gospel of Jesus Christ, bringing glory to God, or can place a barrier to the very same gospel. Message preached on Sunday, May 21, 2023 at ParkerDC as part four in "The Big Ten Sermon Series" from Exodus.
