“Lord” may not be a pagan title like “God” but it’s still ridiculous to keep as a principle designation for our Creator and Savior.
Why choose a medieval title? Why a British one? Why one that is distinct to a specific political and economic system?
“Lord” was a feudalistic title which became an English nobleman’s honorific and can now apply to a member of the parlament of Great Britain.
YHWH isn’t British. YHWH isn’t a feudal ruler. YHWH isn’t medieval. YHWH isnt and english noble nor a parlimentarian.
So why are we encouraged to be applying such a title as one of His principle designations?
If we are intent upon adopting and adapting names and titles for the Almighty and His Messiah why not something more close to home? Boss, perhaps? Manager? Director? Administrator?
There’s always Ruler, Sovereign, or King of course.
“Lord” is simply old fashioned, foreign, and oddly irrelevant. We might as well call the Most High the CEO, the President, or the Pope. Just because a title designates authority in a given area and sovereignty over a specific sort of leadership doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for repurposing as the staple for all true religion, everywhere and everywhen.

Thought for Today: Sunday August 24
The way we live often speak louder than words. People may tell us they do not believe the Bible – but they cannot deny it’s power as they see it changes our lives, guide our decisions, and influence how we live. Ask YHVH to rule in your heart, and remake you within into the person He wants you to be. Then ask Him to help you be sensitive to those around you who may be successful on the outside, but inwardly are empty and confused, so that by your life and by your words they may discover the joy and peace that comes from knowing the Moshiach.

Outlook and attitude make a difference. When we look for the end of the world, we will see it, when we search for the top of the world we will see that as well. Are you looking for the end of the world or do you want to see the best the world has to offer? 1 Kings 3:13, “Moreover, I will give you what you did not request—both riches and honor—so that during all your days no man in any kingdom will be your equal.”
