Interjection Woe

I am grieved to see a lack of reverence for our Almighty God more and more in the world, especially in America.  People use God's name in vain left and right. 

 

"You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name." Exodus 20:7

 

This is very serious! It is sad that even some Christians use God's name in vain. I believe (hope) most of them do so without realizing it. It is bad enough when they use it orally as a habit. In addition, I have come across several blogs and comments on Facebook where Christians misuse God's name in their writing. When you interject "g_sh", "g_lly", or "g_e" (add o in the first two blanks and e in the second blank), you use God's name in vain because the former two are a euphemistic variation of God and the latter is a euphemistic shortening of Jesus (see dictionary). "OMG" is included (I don't even want to type those 3 letters here).

Another sad thing is that many foreigners desire to act and speak like Americans so they adopt American interjections including those three mentioned above.  Next time you are about to either exclaim with delight or express surprise, please avoid the forewarned "interjection woe."

I agree 100%! I think the problem lies with the lack of reverence for God and the present movement of trying to put Him on man's level.

"... holy and reverend is His name." Psalm 111:9

As you know, I totally, absolutely, positively, agree!
"Thou shalt not use the name of the Lord in vain!" That is a direct command from the Lord and it is being ignored. Thanks for posting about it :).
