Please take this to heart.
Some Christians are far too comfortable with turning serious events and God into humor and memes and puns.
God does not have a zodiac sign. God did not watch Bible movies to make witty comments about the real events in the Bible. God did not take screenshots of people’s sins and make a mockery of them on social media. God did not tell us His Name so that we could make puns out of it and say it in vain. God did not create a fandom, He created a church.
God does not want people to minimize Him and focus on cracking jokes about Him and His Word rather than listening and praying to Him.
There is a difference between wanting to be comfortable by reducing the Lord and His commandments to jokes and sarcasm versus recognizing that He wants a loving relationship with us and is the holy, perfect, sovereign God Who deserves our respect.
“You shall not swear by My Name falsely, and so profane the Name of your God: I am the Lord.” Leviticus 19:12
“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.” Exodus 20:7 and Deuteronomy 5:11
“They speak against You with malicious intent; Your enemies take Your Name in vain!” Psalm 139:20
“Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your Name.” Matthew 6:9
“If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.” James 1:26
This is not to sound like I’m better than you, it is to follow God’s Word in approaching spiritual brothers in sisters about sin. I have certainly sinned, even in this way, and the Holy Spirit convicted me. Please listen to Him.
“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.” Galatians 6:1
