Why is it when people curse using His name hardly anyone complains, but if you speak about Him with respect or pray in His name some people call it fowl. The Name is Franklin Graham's response to those questions
From back cover...
There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved...JESUS
The Name is a lightning rod because The Name represents the division of life between good and evil, God and Satan, light and darkness, righteousness and sin, heaven and hell. The Name s houts out a choice: Whom will you serve, give your life to, depend upon? Rebellious, self-willed, sinful people want to retain the right to decide themselves what way they will take. Jesus denies this option. Speaking on His behalf, the apostle Peter said, "There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Jesus is gentle, but He is not weak. He loves the sinner but is absolutely intolerant of sin. He is not a negotiator. He is Lord! It is the bristling truth that invites intolerance toward Christians. Jesus did not say, "Do your own thing; all roads lead to God." That would have made Jesus "politically correct," but Jesus is not politically correct. HE IS LORD.
Stories of people who want to live their own lives the way they want to, but God had plans for them in their lives & transform them for the better. Great reading.
