Does God defend His name today?

Step 4 of “Do you take your burdens to the Lord?” focuses on the reason why God acted in response to Hezekiah’s prayer. The key verses are Isaiah 37:33-36.

The LifeWay Leader Guide makes the point that the Assyrian king Sennacherib blasphemed God (see p. 70). Does God defend His name today when blasphemy occurs?

For example, the DaVinci Code book has 40 million copies in print and a Hollywood movie is coming this spring. Like the Assyrians who attacked Judah’s faith in God, the book asserts that Jesus is simply a married man and not God. Will God defend His name in this case? What do you think about the movie from just the trailer?

How are you preparing to take advantage of the film's release? Do you have a recommended site to help turn the tables and make it an opportunity to share the true story of Jesus Christ?
