Good Trouble

NIL Jesus

Pastor Harp reflects on the disconnect between his public preaching and private conduct, framing it as a breach of the Third Commandment’s deeper meaning. He argues that the commandment forbids misrepresenting God’s character, not merely avoiding profanity, and uses the Hebrew word *nasa* to illustrate bearing God’s name like an ambassador. By sharing personal failures, he urges believers to pursue authentic congruency and repentance, pointing to Jesus as the flawless exemplar.
