The Phil Files

Any sense of the holy is very hard today. We recognize mystery. We love to be overwhelmed with sensation and often mistakenly tag this as awesome. Jesus, however, challenges me — and you, as well — to see God as holy: something other than we can have or be without the LORD God. He teaches us to pray that God would protect His name and His holiness.

As I’ve pondered this theme, “hallowed by your name,” I’ve found some things that call me back to this principle. I hope the following video will do just that and then invite you to join me in saying the Lord’s prayer, with an emphasis on the Father’s holiness:

(You can find this video by clicking here.)

“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.

For yours is the kingdom and the power
and the glory forever. Amen.”
