I wonder if we believe in the hallowedness (is that a word?) of God's name. There have been times I have listened to myself, other's and how they use His name. Do we think His name is holy any more? In the evangelical world I think we have lost the majesty of His name. I would almost quit using His name if I knew it would enstill in me the scardness of who God is in saying His name.
I think the Hebrew language has something over the English language. God revealed Himself in so many ways in that language. Yet we stick to God and some how that name does not describe all who He is to me any more. It seems we use it so casually and God isn't casual to me. We use His name as if He is our best bud or a toy or just something we sling around.
Can we regain the scared name of God? Can we get to a point that speaking His name isn't casual as saying anyones name? Or have we become so modern in our thinking that we have humanized God so much that to regain His sacerdness with our lips will never happen?
