Today is day 285 and we are studying The Third Commandment.

285. What does it mean to take God’s Name “in vain”?

“Vain” means empty, meaningless, and of no account. To take God’s Name in vain is to treat it as such. (Leviticus 24:10–16; Romans 2:23–24)

We will conclude today with the Waw Stanza of Psalm 119 found on page 430 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
