Why we should Praise the Name of Jesus

Why? because God tells us to praise His name.

I just opened my bible to Psalms and quickly went through the Psalms seeking where it says to sing to HIS NAME (specifically). There is something special about singing to God and even singing to His name. God wants us to praise His name and we know this because he asks us to over and over. See the Psalm references below.

No wonder the devil wants to trample the name of Jesus. He not only wants to devalue the name of Jesus but he wants to see and hear us do it. The devil wants us to take the Lord’s name in vain. He wants us to dishonor the name of Jesus.

God wants the name of Jesus honored. He bestowed on Jesus the name above all names. God has honored the name of Jesus. Let’s praise the name of Jesus.  Sing with Faith in this short video.
