God Quote by Kenneth E. Bailey
““In the Lord's Prayer the believer, with the phrase "May thy name be made holy," calls for a demonstration of the holiness of God. That is, the worshiper is saying, "May God again demonstrate his holiness." This in turn expresses a willingness to participate in Isaiah's dramatic experience.””
