Yes I think it would be grand if those that do that would give the glory back to God, But as you know ministry "As many call it" is not about God, so what do we do? I say be led by the Spirit and the Word!

I don't know Steve, maybe they aren't creative.  Maybe it is simpler that way?  You really think it is stealing glory from God?

Bro. Todd:  As you know, the word says that "God resists the proud."  Can you see a Simon Peter Ministries (SPM) or a Paul of Tarsus Ministries (PTM)?  I can't.  If exalting one's own name was innappropriate for Peter and Paul, why isn't exalting one's own name inappropriate for today's ministers?

I like the "no name" idea, Doc!  We are called to live and minister in Jesus' name and no other.

I say it's the house of God, He is the head of the church not man

Steve:  If it is a motive thing then for sure it is a violation of God's glory.  But I wonder if that has crossed other's minds.  I know it hasn't crossed mine.  Thanks Brother Blessings.

I am the LORD, that is my name; my glory I give to no other

Joh 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

God does not give his Glory but unto himself.  Mankind as One  AT ONE MEN t

Either he does give it to another...or He Only Gives it unto Himself. Who then Is man ?
