AFF the Great Equalizer.....
 

I noticed something about this forum I hadn't before.. Levels of respect tend to be more along the lines of personage than position.

I have seen some on other forums complain about the LACK of respect and I know there is some spirited debates on here but for the most part it seems many still find their way back here to hash, agree and laugh or cry daily.

I think it's because on this forum there are no BIG I's or Little U's.. it is an equalizer of folks of many different callings and walks... who can come a post what they feel or how about a myriad of topics..

There's Good.. Bad...Squirrels and some Nuts.. but in all we're family..

anyways..

Just a Thought..

Good post, RevRandy! I agree!

RevRand,

I appreciate this post!

I would like to believe this is how God would like his children to get along - a little balance and tolerance of each other!

Oh whatever! I think you all are a bunch of ..........






















great people.

See the NUT's can even post!!


Love Ya... Ya NUT!!! :D

You really CRACK me up!:coffee2

Well, for all you sweet nut crackers... don't you know that Ballet is for sissies? :)

Well said Rev. I have found that if I get to know folks that generally I can love them even though I may not be able to embrace all that they are or believe. How in the world can we influence a life if we just reject the person out of hand, if we are able to know how they got where they are, the Spirit of God just may use us to help them along their path, or better His path. His path may not be a direct straight line, it may have some crooks and turns before it straightens out.

or America's Funniest Home Video's...... Did I just say that??? :largehalo

If you and PP are doing the dancing you are probably more on target than I!:usa

Bro. Phil.. If I am dancing anywhere it ain't called Ballet!!! Usually it's called Stomp!! :D

Not sure about PP he might do some ballet???


:D

Nope, but I do a great funky chicken.

Good thoughts... I'm relatively new here, but AFF does seem to have a distinctive flavor.

What flavor is that?:icecream

Romans 12

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Sometimes it's the Great Tranquilizer ........... :killinme:killinme:killinme

Other times it's "Drums along the Mohawk".........

Yep, we're all on the same playing field.












I'm just faster than everyone else.

H2H is faster!

Well said, Bro!!! There really is an equal footing here. It really doesn't matter what kind of position anyone holds in an org or out, pastor or not etc. I think that is really unique here and is one of the precious aspects of this forum!!! :D
