Yahweh/Jehovah (3 of 15)
Series: What A Wonderful Name
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Exodus 3:14
Now as we continue our series of messages on the names of God under the heading ''What a Wonderful Name,'' take your Bible and turn with me to Exodus 3 as we consider the name that is so holy that our Jewish friends refuse to speak it in fear of taking His name in vain. And of course I'm talking about the name Yahweh or Jehovah.
Those of you who have children, was it a challenge for you to name your children? Back when Julie and I were having children, we didn't know if it was a boy or a girl until they were delivered.
Now let me quickly add that it was possible to find out the sex through a thing called a ''sonogram,'' but our insurance didn't cover it and it cost $100.00.

In fact, for three days he laid in the nursery nameless because his parents couldn't agree on a name!! Poor Baby Easley!
Well, we knew that we had to name him before we left the hospital and time was running out. So what did we do? We named him after the Doctor that delivered him: Dr. Jordan!
Now when he got to about 10 years old, he would tell people he was named after another Jordan who was playing basketball at the time: Michael Jordan, but the truth is, he was named after the Doctor that delivered him, Dr. Jordan!
Naming babies is easier today! In fact, you can go on ''Newberry's List'' online and see what names are trending each year. As of their post i ...
