I Thought You Would Call Me Father

Did you know that the God we worship has a name?  In fact, in the Bible, His individual, personal name is used almost 7000 times.  God tells us exactly who He is.  His unique name is important.  It's critical that we know it.  But why did it go from a proper name to a generic "LORD" or "GOD" when the scriptures were translated?  Why aren't we honoring the unchanged name of the Lord our God?  Why do we avoid it?  Traditions that are wrong are still wrong.  Let's start getting it right.
