Day 287. How might you use God’s Name profanely? (2025)

Today is day 287 and we are studying The Third Commandment.

287. How might you use God’s Name profanely?

By the unholy use of God’s holy Name, especially through perjury, blasphemy, and attributing to God any falsehood, heresy, or evil deed, as if he had authorized or approved them. (Deuteronomy 18:20–22; Proverbs 30:7–9; Jeremiah 34:15–16; Ezekiel 36:16–23; Amos 2:6–7; Jude 5–13)

We will conclude today by praying Proper 7 found on page 617 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
