Bible Note: Steve, while I most certainly appreciate your respect accorded to me, the ancient one, by addressing me as Mr. Hank, you have my special permission to continue calling me merely Hank :-) What you say about respect of the younger generation for the older in our society is by and large the case these days. But I am ever so much more grieved by the lack of reverence to God by our people in this land -- to God, to His Name, to His Holy Word. We've seen, on occasion, God's word challenged, maligned and treated with abject disrespect even on this, what purports to be a forum for Bible study...... Now, I'm not a Roman Catholic, I'm a Bible-thumping Southern Baptist, but I am always deeply impressed when I see a Catholic priest, at the end of his reading from the Bible, kiss it before he puts it down..... And Yes, Steve, a thousand times Yes, we should honor the name of our Holy God, not make it common and certainly not use it in vain. The Jews were in such awe of the covenant Name that they dared not utter it. Don't you love that old hymn, "Blessed be the name, blessed be the name, blessed be the name of the Lord." --Hank |
