A forums is being built for this site.
I have had some experience with some Christian websites. Some of the sites are wonderful. Sad to say there are always wolves wearing clothing that belongs to sheep.
There were a few so-called Christian sites that allowed people to come in and type whatever they want to write about the Lord. Some of the information is ludicrous and actually against the Lord in some ways.
I am clearly not an advocate for encouraging anyone to get involved in things that are against the teachings in the Bible. Some of the Christian sites allow just about anyone to come to their site and start typing messages leaving harmful messages openly on their sites.
My concern is for mostly for new converts. I would like it if new converts have a place to go online where they can read messages left by people filled with the love of Jesus. Messages left openly online that will encourage these young ones to keep reading their Bibles and to keep walking by faith. Messages that will expose the lies of the enemy rather than allow counterfeit Christians to come in and cause chaos and confusion where peace should abound.
It is my goal to try to eliminate anything evil like bad things I’ve seen on other sites from happening on this site. Please keep this in prayer. I hope my Christian friends and family members that read things on this site will always let me know if they see anything that isn’t from God posted on this site.
The forums is being built for this site that will allow Christian people to become members of the site so they can be the ones writing things in the forum.
Remember when Moses was told to get helpers because he couldn’t possibly handle all the judgments that needed made when people had problems? Well….. It is my hope that the forums portion of this site will be worked on by people that are solid in their faith about the Lord. Christian people that believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God will be the type of Christians we want writing as they feel led by God to write things on here.
I’m hoping we can have one section designated for members to type about their personal salvation story. They can share how they got saved. This will be a spot for encouraging new converts to see that they are not alone in their walk with God. All Christians had to be born again. One must be born again!
I used to tell my children that it is more valuable to spend time with a few good friends than to have a whole slew of friends that could care less about being true friends.
It is not my goal to have a forums with millions of members just so the number of people coming to the site makes the website more popular. Rather it is my goal to put quality information on the site where true Christians can write things that they sincerely believe will benefit their fellow Christians.
New converts are not the only ones blessed by reading messages shared by fellow Christians. It’s just that when they come to the site I don’t want them to be bombarded with wrong information so there will be less room for confusion.
If you had seen some of the sites I visited you would know why I’m writing this information here now.
Once the web builder gets these things up and going you will see a spot where you can click on to become a member of the www.newsletterchristian.com forums. It would also be great to build a pastor’s corner for this forums.
I’ve met a lot of decent Holy Spirit filled pastors that are welcome to be led by the Spirit of God to list things on this site for others to read.
I may have the opportunity to meet some more as time goes by. I welcome men of God that believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, they also believe Jesus was born of the virgin birth, Jesus walked a sin free life dying on the cross for our sins, and on the third day God raised Jesus from the dead. “Jesus Christ is Lord!”
Having Scripturally correct information placed on this site so anyone that cares to read it can be blessed by reading it is important.
How would you like it if you walked into a church and there were several people arguing about whether or not witchcraft symbols can be placed on the church walls? That would be ludicrous. Witchcraft is an abomination to the Lord.
We may see movies with fables and witchcraft in them placed on our movie screens and rented as dvds and children are allowed to read these type of things for public school projects but they are clearly not something that a Christian should ever have to be exposed to as an argument in their own church. In my opinion true Christian sites should protect readers from being exposed to unholy teachings just like our churches should be protecting members from unholy teachings.
A church should be a place of solace for Christians. The environment a church offers should be like a home where you know you are among fellow believers that follow the truths shared in the Bible. Those fellow Christians will stand up for what God wants them to do and they will follow the Lord’s teachings.
Good leaders in a Bible believing church would quickly tend to anyone that tried to place satanic symbols or symbols of witchcraft in their church. They would already know that those type of things don’t belong in the church and they would boldly let it be known that Christian symbols are all that will be allowed in a Christian church.
I’m thankful that I checked out a few other sites so it would prepare me for trying to protect this site from being overburdened with unholy teachings. I do want to hear from my Christian friends and loved ones. I get nice emails and would like Christian people to share things on this site because I know there are others that have a lot of good things to share.
Julie contacted me today letting me know she tried to leave a comment sharing her praise report about her recent surgery. For some reason she wasn’t able to personally leave the praise report. That’s when I got together with the web builder of this site. I asked him if it would possibly be best to build a forums. He said it could be worked on promptly.
I have never helped start a forums before. This is exciting news. Forums can be a fun way for Christians to connect with other Christians from many areas. The important thing I want all my contacts to know is this: Please keep all information shared in a way that you know would be pleasing to the Lord. We will be held accountable for every word and deed. . . every idle word spoken, right? Think about the impact your testimonies and your words can have on your fellow Christians. Please pray about your entries and please do join in on the sharing in the forums.
I am not seeking any earthly gain from this site. The goal of having this site is truly to have a spot where we can have Christian fellowship online.
We can share normal every day prayer requests and praise reports as well as talk about ideas of how to encourage each other as the Lord leads.
Okay — long message & it’s time to stop for now.
