Sunday Words of Encouragement August 19, 2012

We  had another good Sunday school and church service today. We blessed the teachers and children as they head back to school tomorrow.

Our Pastor's sermon was on The Power of God in Our Lives but more particularly on the Power of HIS Name.  As mentioned by the missionary a couple of weeks ago, God's name is to be Hallowed. It is Holy and Powerful.We should be careful how we use the name of God and Jesus. We must be careful not to allow the worldly, casual use to make us forget the holiness and power of the Name.

We cannot treat His Name casually and then expect any power. There is authority, healing, deliverance and so much more in the Name of God. Eternal life is sealed with His Name.

I had several choices of video for this message.
I found this song some time ago and decided to share this one today.

The Names of God

A Verse for Today

Exodus 20:7 (ESV)

⁷  “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.

I give thanks that I never took to swearing when I was young. It is unnatural to me. I pray that I may ever give praise to and in His Name and never use it lightly.
