Wonderful collection, Elijah.

The scripture that comes to mind is:

we must worship God in Spirit and in Truth.

(This to me means there is some work/study involved **wink**).

Thanks for your post.

Yep, simply living by truth is itself an act of worship.

Thanks for sharing that Elijah!

I have been feeling down in the dumps about Christian Forums in itself. I am so glad I came into this deeper fellowship room.

There have been so many unbilical beliefs spread around on CF that in many ways it is dragging me down spiritually.

The good part about CF is finding the truth through those who are knowledgable about God's truth, and it's given me greater insight.

However, I have been considering leaving CF due to all the untruths spread around this place.

It's really dragging me down.

What kind of untruths are you refering to? Just all the pro-homosexual threads and stuff? Cause I just avoid those by staying out of the philosphy and ethics forum.

Yes, but that's only part of it. The rest I would rather send in a pm.

Thanks for being concerned though.

I have to log off now.

Have a great day!

Again, thanks for sharing.
