Manner Tips
Mouth Manners Rule # 15
June Hines Moore
Rule:Thou shalt not misuse the name of the Lord your God. (NIV Bible) Swearing is misusing the Lord?s name or names such as God, Jesus, and Christ. Reason:Swearing breaks the third of the Ten Commandments. Swearing shows a lack of self-control. Some say that it reflects the swearer?s limited vocabulary. Application:Explain to your children that they will hear God?s name used in an irreverent, profane way all their life, but they do not have to join the crowd of swearers. Modeling good language before your children will reap great rewards. Copyright 2003, June Hines Moore Click here for a biblical approach and resources on manners. |
