Please, come in, pull up a seat and help yourself to a pint.
We have a place to call our own now, so let's enjoy it to the fullest.
Let us take this opportunity to fellowship with one another and discuss the beauties and the misconceptions associated with the Reformed faith. Let's not create a breeding ground for gossip or allow this room to become one that is constantly guilty of tearing down other faiths. This is not IDD, we are not here to battle others or convert others. We are here to fellowship and bask in the glory of God's sovereignty and to discuss current events and issues from a Reformed perspective. While we will disagree on some things, let's not debate. We can have "I believe you believe" conversations without feeling the need to win the other person over to our view. Hopefully, we are all close enough in doctrine that there should be no need to bicker, however, should the need arise........  I I'm not afraid to put the smack down.
Now, pass me a cigar and a chilled mug and we'll get started.
