Does anyone else feel really sad?

[Time2BCounted]

I'm of two minds on this. I see your point about staying and fighting for godliness here at FU but at this point I've fought for the past year or so and watched CF get flushed down the john. I may need to shake the dust off my sandals so that I'm not so angry all the time. And I have to admit that CF can become an obsession. I'm probably spending way too much unproductive time here when I could be reading, learning, fellowshipping, teaching, evangelizing, etc. all the things we have been called to do. I came here as a baby Christian and made some really good friends - even with a couple of atheists. But the spirit of this place has been darkening. I think I just need to turn it over to the Father and let Him make the decision for me.

I do love you all in this forum. I really do!

Warriors of God all get discouraged and need a time to heal here and there, but they always return to the battle

We know what we are standing for, and that we are called to stand. As peter asked, Who should we obey, God or man? We have nothing to fear but not being the dilligent servent

1.
Be strong in the grace of the Lord,
Be noble and upright and true,
Be valiant for God and the right,
Live daily your duty to do.
Be strong! Be strong!
And God will your courage renew.

2.
Be strong in the grace of the Lord,
For wholehearted service prepare;
Be thoughtful for all who are weak,
And hasten their burdens to share.
Be strong! Be strong!
Be eager to do and to dare.

3.
Be strong in the grace of the Lord,
Be armed with the power of his might;
Be daring when dangers abound,
Courageous and brave in the fight.
Be strong! Be strong!
And victory will be your delight.

Know this lil sister

Evil men and seducers (and yes even the times of trouble coming such as never was) shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived... but in another passage we see this...

THOSE THAT DO know their God will be STRONG and DO.

Every day sister, God's grace is sufficient to meet what's ahead

You are such an encouragement I look forward to getting to know you as I do everyone on this forum I love the fellowship here.

Yes, there is a battle going on here we all need to keep close to the Lord and this I am learning comes through personal prayer reading His Word and fellowship with other believers as we do on this forum.

I'm grieved over the deception by the posters and the staff over the matter. But as Time2B posted, it's really a sign of the times. No one is using discernment. I wish someone would post the following verses in the staff threads:

MT 12:43 "When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. [44] Then it says, `I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. [45] Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation."

You cannot be/remain delivered unless you have the Holy Spirit residing within you. If you continue to spew, you are NOT delivered no matter what you say!

That said, I love you guys too much to leave even though I took a 12 hour break. Sounds like I need a 12-step program.

Yes... And I hope its sooner than later. Stay strong.

For those of you that are interested. Erwin closed the forum in question earlier today. I am sooooooooooooooooooooo relieved.

 

[Criada]

We need to pray even more for those involved, tho - this will cause a lot of hurt

But he hasn't posted their decision?

Permanently? Where'd ya hear about it?

 

[GreenMunchkin]

Hen, how do you know?

 

[Hentenza]

Lentalis said it a while ago in a thread and I am reading a lot about it in the conference room. The last I heard from Erwin was that the following:

The new refuge forum is still being discussed by the pastoral and recovery teams and will be changed.

I am not sure what the end result will be but the majority of the staff is against the secrecy. I pray that the pastoral team is given full reign over this new forum and that the end forum is not secret. There has to be accountability.

For this forum will happen!
