Church Notes on the 3rd Commandment


While a lot of the comics here have appeared in Reformed Perspective, a magazine I helm, this one didn't make it because when I posted it to social media, the online feedback showed that a lot of people thought it mocked the very Commandment – Do not take the name of the Lord your God in vain – that it was in fact defending. This is by my daughter, and the rough version was completed in church as we listened to a catechism sermon on Lord's Day 36 of the Heidelberg Catechism

The creative spin here was the third point my daughter raised, which wasn't part of the pastor's sermon - that the "reveal" in home renovation shows almost always has people taking God's Name in vain.

  1. I take more offense at the forced rhyme; "show" rhymes with "oh," not "vow" or "cow!"
