Are you taking God's name in vain?
You say, "Well, my word! I wouldn't take God's name in vain!" You just did! John 1:1 says that "the Word" was God! Satan tricked you, didn't he? You need to CONFESS to God that you've been taking His name in vain, and you need to REPENT of this sin!
"Well, my goodness!", you say. If you are saved then your "goodness" is none other than God Himself (Psalm 144:2). You just took His name in vain again. You have no goodness of your own (Isa. 64:6; Rom. 3:23; Psa. 39:5), so, "my goodness" is a reference to God!
"Good grief! I had no idea!" There you go again! Jesus Christ was a man of sorrows and acquainted with GRIEF (Isa. 53:3). His grief was "good" grief because He bore your sins. You should show more reverence and respect for your Savior and quit throwing God's word around too loosely.
"For crying out loud! Can't I say anything?" How about reading your Bible for a change? Am I right or wrong? Am I a Baptist nut case or what?
