There's Just Something About His Name (2 Of 6)

Isaiah 9:6
1. I read about an interesting court case in Los Angeles involving names. Luther Wright and Hermann Rongg appeared before a Federal Judge claiming ownership, of a patent. The judge attempted to moderate the dispute, declaring: ''Well, one of you must be wrong.'' ''That's right,'' declared Rongg, ''I'm Rongg, and I'm right.''

3. Names are important. That's why many have their names changed. I think of several people whose names are familiar to us. There is the name Dino Crocetti, Joseph Levitch, Leonard Slye, Israel Baline, Issur Danielovitch, Marion Michael Morrison, Fred Austerlitz, and Nat Birnbaum to name a few.
4. Now I know what you are thinking. None of those names are familiar to me. I have never heard of any of those names. In all honesty, probably not, but you are familiar with each of them: . You know Dino Crocetti as Dean Martin, . Joseph Levitch as Jerry Lewis, . Leonard Slye as Roy Rogers, . Israel Baline as Irving Berlin, . Issur Danielovitch as Kirk Douglas, . Marion Michael Morrison as John Wayne, . Fred Austerlitz as Fred Astaire, . Nat Birnbaum as George Burns.
