The third commandment of the Ten Commandments expresses, ““You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name” (Exodus 20:7, NIV). In my last post I stated that God’s name is an action, in fact it is expressed through the act of breathing (see August 12, 2025, Vol 1:1 – God’s Name is an Action!). If that is indeed the case, then how can we, do we, misuse God’s name, if the act of breathing expresses the name of God?

Have you ever wondered what God’s name is? It’s not “God” because that is more or less a generic term – a term used to describe something or someone we cannot describe. We give this that which is indescribable the term generic term “God.” But the term “God” comes nowhere close to naming God.
There is no awe, no wonder, no nuance, no hidden presence, no glory.
