Mon	Fearing and Loving God’s Name
The fulfillment of all commands must flow from fear and love of God, who has revealed himself, his essence, his attributes, so that we do not curse, swear, use satanic arts, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks.

1. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away our fear.
2. It makes the wounded spirit whole
And calms the heart’s unrest;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul
And to the weary, rest.
3. Dear name! The Rock on which I build,
My Shield and Hiding-place;
My never-failing Treasury filled
With boundless stores of grace.
4. O Jesus, Shepherd, Guardian, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.
5. How weak the effort of my heart
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I'll praise Thee as I ought.
6. Till then I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death.			
	Tue	The Sin of Swearing
Don’t take an oath, calling on God to witness the truth of what you say or promise, and to punish if we lie or break it.  Swear for the glory of God or the welfare of neighbor!  Don’t swear falsely, thoughtlessly, or in sinful, uncertain, or unimportant matters.

	Wed	The Sin of Satan, Lying, and Deceiving
Do not use God’s name to perform supernatural things like casting spells, calling up a spirit, fortune-telling, consulting the dead, or other occult practices.  Do not teach false doctrine, saying it’s God’s Word.
