What draws us together?

[nahkoe]

What keeps us all posting together on this site? What's the glue that holds it all together?

Seems to be plenty of threads lately about the things that divide everyone. But what brings everyone together? What do you stand side by side and agree about no matter what else you disagree about?

Common background. People who know what I'm talking about.

We agree - Jesus died and rose again... and pleasing Him is very important..

Nahkoe,

Could it be because of the following found in part: Romans 5:3-5.

... but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Hugs,

Falla39

Amen - Sis. Falla- you always know just what to say.

I think you hit the nail on the head, QuietPlace. When you have an Apostolic background, it leaves a mark on your life that will never leave. I don't go to an Apostolic church right now. Sometimes there are things that I say or believe that people who've never experienced this cannot possibly understand. I NEED this connection to my past. It's part of who I am.

1. I enjoy the diversity and the "personality" of the forum.
2. I really think I'd hang out with some of you in real life.
3. I like the topics.
4. I like to argue with UCs.

I agree. A common heritage is such a great link.
