How should you address God?

[Just Curious]

I say "Heavenly Father." I know we can call Him "Abba Father"--which supposedly is an equivalent term of affection like "Daddy" (I could be wrong though)...but "Daddy" is my earthly father's name.

Here's the problem. We've all started down the slippery slope in leaving the IFB so now look at us: we can't even follow rules. We flout authority at every opportunity. Tell us it's "serious" and we'll try to be funny. Soon we'll be driving on the wrong side of the road! And then we'll get hit by a semi and die and Dr. Kidd can use us as a sermon illustration of the terrible things that happen when people leave the old paths and start reading the ESV and listening to CCM.

I didn't even see the serious business part, I couldn't see through the tears of laughter at the words "Fundy Theology" next to each other.

I will take my suggestion from Ed Norton of The Honeymooner show's fame.

"Hello, God."

Capt'n I thought you and I were having a very deep Fundy Theological discussion. We were just getting to the nuances of the hedge and the gap as it pertained to personal intercourse and divine supplication.
