I am ready for a break from CF (maybe permanent)

[drstevej]

This has NOTHING to do with the folks here at the Rep Forum. I dearly value you guys/gals and this forum has been the bright spot here at CF in the past half year.

Your kindness has prolonged my decision.

My frustration lies with areas outside the BE area and deal with philosophy of ministry and issues that I believe are important to the spiritual health of this site.

I have been here a long time and seen a lot of CF from the inside and outside and I am as discouraged as ever with the direction.

So I will take a couple of week's break from posting (I will keep up with friends re PMs) and after that decide whether to make this permanent.

I am not asking any of you to do anything. I just think you deserve to know where I am and why I am gonna be remote (at least).

Again, EVERY one of you in the forum have been great to me and I will miss this forum, but adding posts to this site is not something I want to do any more.

Perhaps I will change my mind, but a week's vacation only has strengthen my resolve to make this move.

Rep ON!

Steve

Brother I agree with you 100 percent about the direction its taking and I as well as you have been on the inside and out as well as been a member here almost 5 years.

I wish however you would reconsider not just because of the wonderful fellowship in this part of the forum but for one main reason - people who stand up for the truth and who care about true ministry here are getting fewer and farther between and as believers we are called to be the salt.

Its that reason that I ended up staying. The harvest is plentiful and the workers are few and getting fewer by the day. If even one persons heart is reached for the Glory of God it doesnt matter what the rest are doing here - thats one more for the kingdom of heaven.

You have blessed me completely with your presence here in more ways than I can express over the years. You have provided much needed ministry and balance as well as given gifts of joy and laughter and fellowship. God has used you to reach many - many of whom never express it to you or others who God uses to reach their hearts.

It will be a great loss to see you leave and I truely hope you reconsider only staying for the same reason I do and thats to witness to the lost as well as encourage fellow believers and add some salt as we are asked by our Lord to do.

God bless you dear brother in whatever you decide. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Rep Daddy even though I dont know u or have never met u until now and I will pray for u to make the right choice but if u dont want the prayers just tell me and I wont do so. I think that everyone here from CF that know u including the CFangels wouldnt want u to leave and I am speaking for all the CFangels since I am a CFangel myself

I've seen the forums go through multiple changes.
The thing that's kept me around is not the site but the people.

I hope to see you around, if not, I'll guess I'll have to hunt you down

Hey Rep Daddy....I wish you would stay as you have always been so kind to me. I understand your reasoning and wish you the best in whatever decision you make.

God bless you!

Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroine.

with all due respect - I'm perplexed as to why people who rarely, if ever, post in the repaholics forum are choosing to post in this particular thread - it makes absolutely no sense to me.

Dr. Steve - I did address this in a pm, but want to say publicly and for the record - I hope this is a simply a LOA and nothing permanent. Your presence here is an inspiration to many and you will be deeply missed.

 

[CaDan]

Oh, mostly for the lulz.
