Pretty cool change

[MrJim]

The "Faith" section is the last in the list of what is offered.

The first shall be last, and the last shall be first

 

[HypnoToad]

Actually seems pretty insulting to me.

I didn't think of it that way maybe I should

Actually seems pretty insulting to me.

On the contrary, I think this is an excellent time to show a servant's heart.

Remember:

Luke14:. 7 Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, 8 When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, 9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you, Give your place to this person, and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, Friend, move up higher. Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. 11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Let us take our place and just DO!

Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

Oh, I have no problem with humility.

I have a problem with someone's apparent attitude that the Faith section belongs at the bottom. Erwin had to physically change the order of the forums. The "new vision" that this site was supposed to be was still supposed to be Christian, just more focused on outreach. The EXACT wording of the new option was "heavy and strong Christian influence". That is NOT where this "new vision" has actually taken us. If it supposed to remain "heavily Christian", you don't shuffle your Christian members to the bottom of the deck. Even in what the "new vision" is supposed to be, Erwin was dishonest.

I really hate saying Erwin is a liar, but every step of this change shows nothing but deceit from the get go.

Perhaps it is more focused on outreach. The door is opened by the friendly-sort of forums many of us frequent ourselves.

And as for the bottom~remember the bottom is also the

FOUNDATION

...and the foundation is good

I agree Mr. Jim.

 

[MrJim]

I agree Mr. Jim.

Glad to see someone does.

Watching all the rage reminds me of my own rage on 777 that I am so ashamed of..

How many people went into a Christless eternity today?
How many people went hungry today?
How are the Peruvian survivors, the families of the mine collapse and bridge collapse doing?

All the energy and rage and for what? Some fella lets us post stuff on his forum, virtually make whatever rules we like, and we can't take this and make something great out of it?

CHRISTIAN is right there in the name of our forum~and that is good enough for me. If ya gotta have the name Christ or Christian in the title of the MB then there are plenty out there.

Well, that's true.

I'm sure you can empathize with those of us who feel a little betrayed though right? It's a little like going to someones home that you thought you were safe in and getting beaten up because you used their facilities.

I think your right though that this is a chance for us to be servants and show our Christian love.

And you have another good point...where does this forum rank in the big picture? Where does it take priority in our lives? I know I have to examine my priorities often and there have been times when this place is too far up on my list. That's when I step back and try to find a balance in my life because this site is not the most important thing in it. If it were gone tomorrow, I'm ok with that. However, I sure would miss alot of good folks.
