It is of English coming from the medieval English Frankeleyn, coming from the Anglo-Franco fraunclein. Its meaning is landowner of free but not noble origin.Ultimately from the Germanic tribal name of the Franks, in the early medieval Frankish Empire, the status of being "a Frank" became synonymous with that of a free man; hence also the English adjective frank (Middle English, from Old Frenchfranc, 12th century).Some people give names for reason of family, some select names for other reasons.WE: IDENTIFICATION (MAKE IT CLEAR THAT YOU STRUGGLE)Intimacy with God is important but can be troublesomeGOD: ILLUMINATION (THE GOAL IS TO RESOLVE THE TENSIONI.

Hurst (Eds.), Lexham Theological Wordbook. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press.Hallowed BeHagiazo. (I lazz o)Hagios is the word which is usually translated as holy; but the basic meaning of hagios is different or separate. A thing which is hagios is different from other things. A person who is hagios is separate from other people. So, a temple is hagios because it is different from other buildings.An altar is hagios because it exists for a purpose different from the purpose of ordinary things. God’s day is hagios because it is different from other days. Priests are hagios because they are separate from other people. So, this petition means:‘Let God’s name be treated differently from all other names; let God’s name be given a position which is absolutely unique.’NameIn Hebrew, the name means the nature, the character, the personality of the person in so far as it is known or revealed to us‘Those who know your name put their trust in you’ (). Quite clearly, that does not mean that those who know that God is called Yahweh will trust in him. It means that those who know what God is like, those who know the nature and the character of God, will put their trust in him.New International Version (NIV)27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[a]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”III.

Who provides?Where do you see God today?
