—1 Corinthians 12:1-6

I’m appalled at how often in today’s society Jesus’ or God’s name is spoken in vain. I’ve stopped watching certain otherwise clean TV programs because of the flippant way people use his name. I even hear children using those phrases.
According to today’s scripture, those people are not speaking by the power of the Holy Spirit, for the Spirit does not prompt us to speak in a way that does not honor God. As Christians, we should be careful not to fall into the speech patterns of the world, because even the smallest exclamation can be a witness or a stumbling block.
