We Are Staying

[Latreia]

We who love each other as Christians
will not be driven out.

Even those of us who must resign as
protest, knowing all the while those of
us who love them, will return to be with us.

We claim the right to post without threats
from any quarter and we shall not be
driven out of any website where there
are still Christians who love Christians.

 

[BelindaP]

Yep, I agree, and I'm not leaving either.

 

[Criada]

Amen.

I'll stay though I may not post as much!

Thank you, Lord, for Lighting my path.

I will keep your people in my heart.

Here I stand until my death.

Amen

Auntie,
I mourn for your loss of hope here.

But Christ is here, within me.

If I were the only person left in the world, Christ would still be here.

This I will always believe.

Thank you Latreia.

The CC Forum has been under attack by the devil for a few weeks now.

This is the only sub-forum at Foru.ms that resembled the old ChristianForums we all used to love. And that is why it is under attack, and will continue to be under attack.

This post is an example why I gave up Foru.ms. Its not Foru.ms fault but rather people who can't control themselves.

As to the topic of this thread, I don't think I will be staying much longer.

 

[Latreia]

Jim the topic of the thread is staying for love of Christians.

This thread is not about leaving and why.

This thread is about hope.

If it gets shut down, it will not be the fault of staff, it will be on those who post without caring about another Christian's hope.

God rules this world and the entire universe.

All creation belongs only to God.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old Cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown.

Thank You, Lord Jesus Our rock, and our Saviour. Less of us, more of You, Lord.

Built on the Rock the church doth stand,
Even when steeples are falling;
Crumbled have spires in every land,
Bells still are chiming and calling;
Calling the young and old to rest,
But above all the soul distressed,
Longing for rest everlasting.


Surely in temples made with hands,
God, the Most High, is not dwelling;
High above earth His temple stands,
All earthly temples excelling;
Yet He whom heavens cannot contain
Chose to abide on earth with men,
Built in our bodies His temple.


We are God’s house of living stones,
Builded for His habitation;
He through baptismal grace us owns,
Heirs of His wondrous salvation;
Were we but two His Name to tell,
Yet He would deign with us to dwell,
With all His grace and His favor.


Now we may gather with our King;
Even in the lowliest dwelling:
Praises to Him we there may bring,
His wondrous mercy foretelling;
Jesus His grace to us accords,
Spirit and life are all His words,
His truth doth hallow the temple.


Still we our earthly temples rear,
That we may herald His praises;
They are the homes where He draws near
And little children embraces,
Beautiful things in them are said,
God there with us His covenant made,
Making us heirs of His Kingdom.


Here stands the font before our eyes
Telling how God did receive us;
The altar recalls Christ’s sacrifice
And what His table doth give us;
Here sounds the Word that doth proclaim
Christ yesterday, today, the same,
Yea, and for aye our Redeemer.


Grant then, O God, wherever men roam,
That, when the church bells are ringing,
Many in saving faith may come
Where Christ His message is bringing:
“I know Mine own, Mine own know Me;
Ye, not the world, My face shall see.
My peace I leave with you.”

We sang that hymn the day after 9/11 in the children's chapel service, and as haunting as the melody is, the lyrics are comforting. Whenever I begin to doubt, I sing this hymn.

I'm not familiar with that hymn. Can you share the Title and whom it was written by? Thank you.

 

[PreachersWife2004]

Here's a great page with the lyrics and all pertinent info, and the song itself is playing in the background.

I will not walk away from my brothers and sisters in Christ. What they do to the weakest of us in faith- they also do to Jesus.
