Should we stop using the name of Jesus?

Question:

Some Christians refrain from using the name of Jesus because they feel that its meaning has become so tarnished that it would only distract from their testimony.  Others even go so far as to say that there has been so much talk and so little walk that we should stop talking all together and demonstrate it through our lives.  Should we do this?

Answer:

NO!  Jesus is the Name above all other names (Philippians 2:9).  If His name is so tarnished, then why are people so offended by it?  By His name we are saved (Acts 4:12).  We cannot take the name of Jesus out of our testimony of faith because it is because of Him that we are saved.  Clearly, the Bible wants us to tell others about Jesus (Luke 9:60).
