Hallowed Be Thy Name

If you have ever said the Lord's Prayer, you have prayed that the Lord's name be hallowed; that is, holy. But why pray for that? Because, even though the Lord is holy, His name can be made unholy if it is taken in vain - something prohibited by the Third Commandment. Therefore, it becomes important to understand what it means to take God's name in vain. And if you think using God's name as a swear word is the only way to take His name in vain, think again. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" will expand your understanding of what it truly means to take God's name and why it is so important to pray that it be hallowed.
