Hey Lighthouse, welcome to the forum... this is a wonderful place for Christ.. but as much as i and everyone else would love you to stay and become an active regular (i have no doubt you have lots to contribute!) the choice will be yours...
take a wander over to another thread here regarding digital lollipops...
fellowship is insanely important... and this affords all of us the opportunity to see our time on the internet not only as a personal blessing, but as a time that we can bless one another... like the bible says, sword sharpening sword.
i don't have tons of forum experience with other boards... i've always stayed clear... but a day does not go by when i visit this site and learn something new about my Lord and Savior... i have been very blessed to be a part of this growing community of believers, and here, you have that same opportunity.
Pastor the last week said that worship is not hinged on the quality of the worshippers, or the talent of the band, he said your worship, or my worship hinges soley on my willingness to come to worship the Lord. WOW
i see this forum the same way, i come hear thirsting, searching, and seeking... and i find, find, find... and i beleive beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can do the same here Lighthouse, wether you want to challenge your walk with God to grow, or you just want to relax and mingle with believers from all over the world... or both... I pray God richly blesses you as you seek! because in seeking you will find!
