The growing trend that I see in streamed liturgies is to avoid the word LORD as somehow patriarchal. It is in my mind the traditional reverent way of referring to YHWH. If you can't say LORD, why not say Adonai.
Read Philippians 2:11.
When I say LORD, I mean both Jesus and YHWH, christology!

I applaud the well-organized team who must have been working for weeks to craft meticulously the "acceptance speech" of our bishop-elect. I had no idea that he was fluent in Tagalog and Mandarin.
Ahh, spontaneity!

I'm a California native, born in San Diego. I was a Republican until the elder Bush joined forces with so-called Christians who would prefer that I be dead.
I registered as a Democrat in 2001.
I'm feeling better about our country thus evening.
