I feel the need to talk to you today about the all too common habit of using the name of the Lord in a meaningless way God Himself described it as taking His name in vain. This sort of thing has become so common and popular today it's kind of hip at the minute to use the term O.M.G. It's popular jargon the in crowd say it, television is full of it but what that is in essence is using the name of God in a meaningless and belittling way.

If Christians use the term O.M.G. they need to be sure that there reason behind it and value and alignment to something worthy of the term. Don't say that phrase easily brothers and sisters, don't say it casually because if you do there is a real, real danger that it can easily become empty and meaningless and God's say He doesn't want you to do that with His name. He wants His name to be special to you, to be extraordinary among us.
