For the Sake of His Name: God's Heart for the Nations

God's passion for his name and his glory is the supreme reason for his actions in the world.   Oh sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth! Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens.    Psalm 96:1–5 (ESV)
