Taking the Lord's name in vain is a sure sign of hubris (overbearing pride) in a person's life. Pride is that sin in man which exalts itself against a holy God in Heaven. We are all awful sinners, deserving of Hell. God pity the wretched man who curses in God's name. And woe unto the man or woman who carelessly curses in God's name to make money in a Hollywood movie. If you are a professed atheist, ask yourself why men always mention God in their greatest moments of pain, pleasure, emotion and anger. The answer is obvious, i.e., there is a God (Romans 1:20).

Nearly every Hollywood movie ever produced is saturated with blasphemy against the Lord Jesus Christ, cursing in God's holy name. Taking the Lord's name in vain is the unholy insignia of Hollywood. If I could do so legally, I'd burn Hollywood to the ground and convict all of Hollywood for their crimes against God and the American family. Everyone involved with Hollywood has much blood on their hands. Deuteronomy 5:11, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.”

Taking the Lord's name in vain is terrible enough when a person is angry or frustrated, but cursing in the Lord's name is infinitely worse when it is deliberately done in thousands of Hollywood movie scripts. Jim Cameron, Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, John Carpenter, and hundreds more Hollywood directors all deliberately and habitually use the Lord's name in vain. They intend to use God's name in vain. They hate the Lord Jesus Christ!!! Hell will be hot enough!!! It will be a wonderful day when the wicked are brought to justice in eternity (Isaiah 13:11; Ecclesiastes 12:14; Revelation 20:12-15). In eternity, at The Great White Throne of Judgment, the books shall be opened, and the unsaved dead will be judged according to their works.

For every single time that Jim Cameron, Sigourney Weaver, Harrison Ford, Kurt Russell, Stephen Spielberg and each individual blasphemer of God took the Lord's name in vain, their punishment in Hell will be incrementally be made worse. Literally, their Hell will be that much hotter. Mark God's word from Deuteronomy 5:11. Jesus warned in Matthew 12:36 that men shall give account for every idle word spoken. How much more shall all men give account for their irreverent words against God and His only begotten Son!!!

You deserve Hell today, at McDonalds!

Americans are saturated with selfish pride, which compels them to commit adultery, have abortions, take advantage of others and commit all manner of wickedness against God. We are a sinful people! The greatest sin of all is pride. If we want to abstain from committing evil, then we must continually war against pride when it rears its ugly head in our life. I suggest memorizing Philippians 2:3-5. When you feel anger, resentment or envy toward others, recite this passage of Scripture and pray for God to help you be humble and love OTHERS.

You can be a humble person and yet be overcome with sinful pride in a moment's time. Pride is a sin that we all contend with daily, especially in a selfish consumer-oriented, materialistic, American culture that continually appeals to our selfish desires and egos to sell products. For example: McDonalds says, “You deserve a break today!” In truth, we all deserve to burn in Hell today. Could you imagine driving down the street, hearing a singing advertisement over the radio... “You deserve Hell today, at McDonalds!” Or how about Burger King's ads which say, “Have it your way! Have it your way!” Biblically, we ought to have it God's way. Do you see how humanistic sinful pride saturates our heathen culture? As Christians we must always be on-guard against these type of sinful suggestive philosophies that fill our hearts with pride.

Anytime you gossip, condemn, point fingers or criticize OTHERS for their sins, faults or shortcomings, it is only because your heart is filled with wicked self-righteous pride, the worst sin of all. Matthew 7:3-5, “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.” Biblically, a “hypocrite” is someone who view another person as being a bigger sinner than them self. You sorry rascal; you dirty devil; you're just as wicked as the next sinner, and so am I. Don't judge OTHERS because they sin differently than you do. We are all sinners deserving of God's wrath and eternal punishment.

Thankfully, God sent His only begotten Son into the world to pay the price for our sins, to ransom us back to God the Father. Through faith, anyone, even the vilest sinner, can be forgiven and made whole in Christ Jesus. Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith. Jesus is precious!
