Why is Gods name or his son Jesus Christ name used in vain so often in conversation?
Gods nature is Holy His character is holy and righteous. God’s name is special, it carries His personal identity. We fail to realize how seriously it is to use the Lord’s name in vain.
Why is is that Jesus is cursed or d*mned in swears J.C., G.D., J.F.C., O.M.G., etc., but other gods are not? (Notice the small g, which references false gods)
God is Holy, we are unwise to dictate to God, tell Him what to do! We can become ignorant or lack awareness that we even are saying unit, because we may do it so often.
The cussing and using God’s name in vain is a good sign of the heart is getting hardened. We lose touch with His presence and awareness our lives. A hardened heart us useless like a lump of clay or hardened loaf of bread
When a person hardens their heart, they a so stubbornly set in their ways, they may refuse to turn to God which can be tragic.
God loves each of us but He’s had enough of the nonsense. If your going to swear keep Gods name out of it! The tongue can become a small fire, full of evil, and deadly … Read James 3:1-8.
I get if you break one commandent you break all the laws and commandments. Nobody is perfect, yet we are all accountable for our words, behavior and actions.
Let’s start with: A. Spending time privately with God daily in His Word and prayer will help us be more sensitive. God wants us to live and walk the right way. It doesn’t happen in our own strength , but through His grace and the power of the Holy Spirit.
B. Christians can be ineffective and grieve God’s heart, because we make excuses for our sin. We are stubborn just like the Israelites in the wilderness.
C. Believe that God’s Word is true and ask the Lord for the power of the Holy Spirit to help you. Be persistent in this!
D. When you meas up confess it to God. “If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive is our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” 1 John 1:9
I know this is an ouch devotion, but this was on my heart.
Enjoy this day my friend, and remember that our words do make a difference.

Greetings! My name is Andy Provitola and I live in New England on the South Shore between Boston and the beautiful Cape Cod region.
The purpose of my blogging and writing is to encourage you in your journey here on planet earth. Life is full of pressing issues and problems and my desire is to discover a place for peace, hope, healing, and contentment. I am a follower of Jesus Christ – God’s one and only Son and I discovered these truths along my own personal journey.
Having discovered a personal relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ does not mean I have to be religious to attain the rewards of heaven. The fact is God provides grace for us and accepts us as we are in His image. In other words, we cannot attain heaven or life eternal on our own, but by God’s loving grace and no merit of our own. Simply by accepting Him by faith and believing.
My goal is to continue to find a balance of life from a spiritual and practical perspective with a purpose to please and glorify God in all that I do because of His ‘Gift of Grace’.
God is not transcendent and so far away that he is out of reach with humanity. God desires that His presence lives within us and not just in the galaxies and the universe. Experiencing the unconditional love of God has been so rewarding and while discovering the truth and purpose for my life. Moving forward in this life is not a sprint, but a marathon when it comes to this race here on earth.
I am blogging because I find it is a good way to connect in a much more effective and efficient way when it comes to communicating and interacting with people that I know or do not know. Blogging and writing challenges me and also stretches me specifically in my thoughts, my mind, my emotions, and my spiritual life. To live a vertical relation with God and a horizontal relationship with others.
There will be a variety of topics and subjects to address including youth, young adults, family, singles, seniors, relationships, etc. Some of the topics will include God’s creation and power, depression, loneliness, suicide, hope, healing, setbacks, financial matters, business, stress, anxiety, care, encouragement, and so much more.
I would like to connect with all walks of life, ethnicity, culturally, other religions, socio-economics, and in so many more ways.
I am currently writing a book and several memoirs about my own life and journey . The journey begins at a young age growing up in Malden, Massachusetts, specifically Maplewood Square to where I am today. I became paralyzed from the waist down as a senior in high school and I share how my life changed for the better!
“But I do not consider my life as something of value or dear to me, so that I may [with joy] finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus. To testify faithfully of the good news of God’s [precious undeserved] grace [which makes us free of guilt of sin and grants us eternal life]. Acts 20:24 Amplified Version
