#misusing god's name

[buggie-hagen]

The Second Commandment

You are not to make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God.

What is this? Answer:

We are to fear and love God, so that we do not curse, swear, practice magic, lie, or deceive using God’s name, but instead use that very name in every time of need to call on, pray to, praise, and give thanks to God.

~The Small Catechism 1:3-4
