I've been on the road with work for the last few days. When I had a bit of spare time I would browse search engines looking for Christians in community to see if I might occupy my time in more than one forum.
I tell you that there is a very great positive to have a forum like this that is for Christians only. The church of Christ in community in the midst of a diverse eclectic secular world is a God send.
I happened on communities bearing the banner of Christian and yet the majority of the population were not so. Be they bearing non-Christian faith labels or very clearly not of Christ due to their behavior and lack of knowledge of scripture. Or respect for that matter.
The world is populated with a diverse community of persons. It is an invaluable respite to find a place of sanctuary on-line that is dedicated to the love and spirit of Christ and for Christians only. There's enough conflict in the real world so that a sanctuary where Christians can meet even from behind monitors is a treasure.
This seems to be a bit of a rant as it were but I just got back home this morning and now in the quiet of the evening I wanted to express my gratitude for this place. And the family in Christ who make it special.
God be praised and thank you all for being here. May his grace and blessings abide with everyone here. In Jesus name, Amen! And Amen!
