Hi, just wanting to introduce myself and try and figure out how all this works. I'm not overly used to the world of online communities so please bare with me.
So Ive joined this Christian forum hoping to connect and become a part of a Christian community. Iron sharpens Iron after all and I could definitely use some sharpening.... I have never been good at making connections with others Ive always been a bit of an introvert. So here I am, reaching out to say hello.

Hello and Welcome to the forum! :grinning:

I wasn't familiar with forums when I first joined but now I post and respond regularly. There's no rush just get involved when and where you want.

Have you changed your language on your computer? It should be next to the clock on windows. Bottom right?

I think you can use any picture found online. I made mine on spark.adobe

The blessings aren't used for as much as they used to be. You can use them to change your user name and temporarily upgrade your account, I think. There used to be little avatars and things you could "buy" with them on the old platform.

The points - if you mean the "rep" ones when someone likes your post, etc, are useful at first. You need 20 posts and 5 likes to do a lot of things, like start private conversations or make a blog post. Once you pass that threshold (and it can be done quickly), you'll have full access. Basically I think it keeps spammers and trolls from opening an account and immediately having access to everyone.

oh ok, that answers other questions too lol like why couldn't I send you a private message and why I couldn't find the option for posting a blog hehe thanks my dear :)
I've given you some reps so you're just about there. Just a few more posts. The games forum is a quick way to build them. :)

Hi Just;
welcome to CF; May the Lord Jesus guide you here as well as in the world; and may you find friends and what ever you need from the Lord here. I do have a question for you; do you like music--Praise & Worship music? Well we have a new forum here at CF just for P&W music and at the top is a directory of other Christian music threads around CF; come and take a look!:wave:

Praise and Worship Music

Just keep in mind that there is a flesh and blood person behind every account and when you are in the flesh you are prone to have another view about God and his word. This may cause division and strife. It is not that God does not love you but we all still in the flesh may not express that love appropriately. Apologies in advance for when that happens.

PS. Looks like you have your 20 posts and you should be good to go for regular CF activity.
