21st century Christians need the revelation that it’s extremely misguided for God’s ministry to be named after yourself. Ministry naming rights belong to God.

So many “ministries” are named after ministers. Perhaps it’s time for “Deny Yourself Ministries.”

Be careful! It’s dangerous for someone to follow a minister who has a ministry named after himself.

Here’s why I believe “self-named” ministries are dangerous. True Christian ministries belong to Jesus, not to any individual. Putting our name on God’s work can cause people to give us credit for what God is doing. It can inflate our ego and make it more difficult to “humble yourself.” It can distract people from the name of Jesus. It’s much more powerful to operate in the name of Jesus than in my own name.
