Today's Daily NAME:
Abba ~ Father
Have you ever
thought about God as a daddy? Galatians 4:6 says, "And because ye are
sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba,
Father." Abba is the Aramaic word meaning Daddy, Father. It's a term of
warm affection, intimacy, and respect for one's father. Now, to some that may
sound like an irreverent way to address God, but Jesus called God, "Our
Father," in Matthew 6:9 and He gave us that same right. In America,
children call their fathers, Daddy. But in the Middle East, they say Abba.
Jesus says that we can call the great God of the Universe, Abba Father. Daddy.
Father.

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
