Digital Logos Edition
Best of 2025$6.99
Overview
What’s in a name? When the Bible speaks of God, the name used holds more significance than you ever knew. For example, the very first reference to God in Genesis 1:1—the name Elohim—teaches and reveals the triune nature of God. We are commanded to honor the name of God, but to do that adequately, we must understand the inherit greatness of the names which God uses to refer to himself. Ken Hemphill takes the reader through an in-depth devotional study of the names of God, teaching the significance of each name and the keys it possesses to growing us in relationship with God. God’s names are not only our protection but also reveal the very nature of God himself. This is why we are to honor his name.

“The understanding that God is Elohim, the Creator and Sustainer of all that exists, gives us confidence to face life's difficulties. As we place our trust in Him through His Son, Jesus Christ, we know that He who created us can sustain us. This wonderful truth when fully comprehended helps you overcome fear and anxiety in everyday living.” (source)
“It means that those who are in relationship with Him must honor His name in their lives. The name of God has to do with His character, and when we live in covenant relationship with Him, we become accountable for reflecting His character.” (source)
“We can know that life has meaning and purpose. If we are to discover that purpose, we must know the one who alone is eternal, our Creator. Further, it lays open the possibility that we can have eternal life. Mankind has always sought to find the secret to life after death, to eternal life. But it's no secret! Eternal life can only be found in relationship to God, who is eternal.” (source)
“Do you realize that when you are in Christ, you bear His name? Your behavior reflects upon Him. When we take the name Christian, we must remember the commandment that says, ‘You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain’” (source)
“The inspired writers of Scripture stood in awe of the Creator God, as we should today.” (source)

There is always the temptation to compromise and conform the Word of God to the culture and zeitgeist and knowledge falsely so called of the times we live in. At this time in history (His-Story), one compromise is with the origin of creation. There is a lot of cultural pressure to conform with the false dogma that the creation came out of nothing... the Big Bang. Simple rational logic as well as application of the test of empirical science shows this is false. Nothing produces and spawns and creates nothing. We know from the second law of thermal dynamics that the creation had a beginning and that the entire universe is heading inexorably towards a heat death. What has unfortunately become all to rare is a true faith and trust in God's word to us about creation... Genesis 1. Dr. Hemphill doesn't compromise on this critical truth. God is the eternal creator not the false manmade god "chance". This alone puts this book at a 5 start, but there are more reasons to make it a 5 star...
