Names of GodEl Qanna
Introduction
God is not only worthy of the worship of all
mankind, but He expects and demands it.
When He does not receive our proper worship, He is
Jealous.
He is jealous because He desires our fellowship.
The primary way we fellowship with God is
through worship.
We worship Him by humbly bowing, praising, and exalting our Jealous
God.

time!
