What is new has anything changed?????
 
I don't come here much anymore, because in my experience everyone has their opinion and is not likely to change from anything they read here!

We all have our journey and each of us hears from God, and we all have to answer for our life here on this earthly plain and what we have done with it...are we putting it to good use....or..........

I see a lot of busy people...which I have said on the forum over and over, but I don't see fruit....everyone is rushing around being so busy they are worn out, but how many new souls have been born in your church this year, have you yourself told anyone lately the miracle of your journey and how you were saved? or Are you so busy with church, fundraisers, etc...you don't have time for friends or family that isn't in the church!!!! Have you made a new friend this year?

What good is all this debate and battle over every thing when nothing good comes of it...and by that I mean nothing is clearer than it was before....all the debates are the same over and over and over and over again....over the same subjects, and yet there has been no consensus over anything, just more battles.

Are you too tired to read your bible, I mean sit down and study it, not just skim over the words you have read before to get it read through by the end of the year.....but looked at what God is saying......I think all the debate trivializes what God has and is doing for each of you....


I have run out of steam....:club good thing....


Love and blessing to you all...God loves us all!

It reflects frustration with futile efforts...I have love for all souls, and I do hope Gods blessings come to all....and I pray for peace in everyones spirit and heart....

Sorry if your offended I just felt I needed to express myself...thinking outloud I guess...

I'm only curious to know if you are living up to your own expectations... But there is no need to answer...

I humbly note here that you no longer come here because people have their opinions and are not likely to change and yet the very wording of that statement denotes that you see yourself as "right" and are frustrated at others inability to change.

The statement above seems to demonstrate that you feel that others frustrate you when they don't come around to your way of thinking.

This would expect a willingness on their part to see differently for them to change but they don't because they feel they are right.

I am not doing a very good job of expressing my point here but it seems that your feelings about your own thoughts equal those who seem to frustrate you so much.

I for one do not come here to change minds or really to banter either. I mostly come here for the same reason I get a double shot of espresso and say hello to the guys at the coffee shop - because I enjoy it and am a social creature. It is an added benefit that most here share some core beliefs of my own.....


Blessings to all and have another cup please.

Good!!....

This is not a place or a church... it's a gathering of like minded and unlike minded folks who get along....

You mean it is not an Anti-Apostolic Church forum?

You mean it is a gathering of those who love the Apostolic Message for Fellowship?

Maybe this thread needs to be in The Cry Room?
