Jesus called out scribes and pharisees back in the day for much of their distorted religious ways. One example is they would use prayer as a platform and try to bring glory to themselves. That’s not what prayer is for. Instead, if you have your theology right, you’ll see that righteous prayer gives glory to the name God the Father. That’s what Hallowed be your name is all about.

About John
John Fonville is Pastor of Paramount Church in Jacksonville, Florida. Paramount Church is part of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).
The Him We Proclaim Podcast features the preaching and teaching ministry of Dr. John Fonville at Paramount Church. This resource aims to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people. The gospel cannot be assumed. An assumed gospel will, in time, become a denied gospel. Thus, each generation must rediscover the paramount truths of the gospel and apply the gospel's implications to their own day and age. Him we proclaim (Col. 1:28)!
