“You can’t say you love God and hate your brother.” — Brad Cummings
WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT
Scott Kesterson and Brad Cummings continue their Ten Words series with the third commandment and ask what it means to take the Lord’s name in vain. Brad says the Hebrew word for “vain” means empty, so the command is about how you represent God, not only about swearing. They read Exodus 33–34, where God gives Moses His name, and talk about “visiting the iniquity of the fathers.” They also cover Moses pleading for the people after the golden calf and how fear and prepper talk crowd out love for neighbors.
KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED
What does it mean to take the Lord’s name in vain?
What does God’s name mean in Exodus 34:6–7?
What does “visiting the iniquity of the fathers to the third and fourth generation” mean?

“You’ll never hear people talk about the Declaration. They always say go to the Constitution.” — Scott Kesterson
WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT

KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED
Why is the Declaration of Independence the founding document of the United States?
What did George Washington’s Farewell Address warn about political parties?
Where do our rights come from according to the Declaration of Independence?

WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS
Scott Kesterson and Brad Cummings continue the Ten Words series with the second word, no graven images, in Exodus 20:4 to 6.

— What does the second commandment mean in the Hebrew?
— What does “visiting the iniquity of the fathers” mean in Exodus 20:5?
— Why are the Ten Commandments called the Ten Words?
