R U ?



Green, what do you meeeeean? (as my dear friend, nods, would say :) ) Right, nods ;)

Let me explain, milady, and, miladies, and, yeah, notmydudes, let me explain to you too :)

Is c.c. just a FREE benefit to you?


Don't we hear in church, when we give to God we get back more than we had before?

Well, don't ya think, c.c. is doing good work for God, and, do you see how little of ads they have. I don't see any, in fact. Amazing ! Tracy, truly believes in God will PROVIDE !!! That IS awesome !!! :)
Tracy=roboop .

Do you give to c.c., I ask you this now ? A simple, non-condemning, non-critical ask. I just ask you to think over what was just said? Not sure how you give, it does not have to be money either, it can be time on c.c. helping out the great moderators like Reinitin (where is she, by the way, she was great) , and, stillwater, and, oncefallen, and, the rest, who SACRIFICE, too.

And, who are THEY sacrificing for? For you :) They are following Him leading them, but, make no mistake, they are on here because they love to love others :)

How do you give?

I did this thread for a reason. And, I know there's a lot of you that bleeed your one dollar bills that you don't really have to Tracy and his Christian Chat ministry, so, the realization, as I believe, is real in your life and will be real as you give . And, 'that,' btw, is really good, from Him.

OK, so you know how I believe, here we are singles, in this forum here, anyway, what about it? How much do you give to c.c. ?

I hate to do this almost because I know some will leave c.c. or be thought as stingy, but, the Lord leads, I will do a PUBLIC poll and ask you if you give a little to c.c., or, a lot. Two choices.

And, no, you don't have Ito go into detail with your giving, just want to shine the light out there, because I know Tracy (the c.c. chat website owner, a.k.a. roboop) is really working hard to make this sight whir-r-r--r. Do you see it whirring? LOL, it is , and, IF you just are on here taking advantage of intellectual blessing from all the talk going on here and neat singles relationship, lovey-dovey stuff, I think it's time you realize that the Lord may soon be leading you to give a dollar out of your pocket toward that red thermometer that was in the 500s MOST of last week and is ONLY to $610 this week and I know that it was in the $500s until last week when someone I know personally put the # into the $600s !!!


So, is this a parental thread to you, my fellow Christ peeps ? And, again, I pray that I follow Him, I want to love you, and , I do love you all, but I know a thread like this can make enemies, and, I can only follow Him how led and I just don't see that METER moving to a DOMINATING red color in the fill area of the donation gauge :(

Uh, yah-uh, IT makes me SAD !!!!! (Green, why do you use exclamation points when you are sad?) . I am just wondering IF some of you really care or give a rip about this website, or, if it is just, pardon my suggestive singles sell here, but, is c.c. just like your friend with (free) benefits .

And, don;'t just give cuz Green just accosted you with this thread content, GIVE because you feel prompted by the Lord, give because YOU want to. Be a 'cheerful giver,' :) or , don't give. :(


I do this for YOU, for me, for all of us, who knows, this is like sticking my neck out there, but this thread is NOT to turn you off from God, like, I know, some have had BAD experiences in church, for whatever reason, including, being turned off by the pastor asking for MONEY all the time . But, please , PRAY about all that's been said and just let the Lord lead you :) The Lord leads :)


God bless you, fellow peeps :)

Note: I did not do it as a public poll, I thought I would, but I did not, forgot, actually, to push that box. The Lord leads.

So, no one will see your answers to the poll.

I actually have almost a formula based on how much I use it, and how many people are coming regularly. I try to pay my fair share. RoboOp and the rest of these folks do a great job.

Yes, it's important to follow the Lord and it's great we Christians do, however He leads, knowing He does correct, even rebuke, and, yes, on occassion, He sees for to scourge us even.
God disciplines His own through Holy Spirit speakings to our heart, this what I beliebe, Kenny, the Lord leads :) and He led me to do this thread and there among my loved Christ peeps should be them seeing no guilt in my words, only love, for I know I try to beat my heart as to after God, so, to see Him see I care, an awful lot, in fact, about the spiritual discipline of giving and how God gets so much out of our doing this sacrificial act for His glory.
So, I saw the $500 just sit there for a week, and, ya, ya got me, I was the one that put the low $500 number into the $600s.

I see no reason for everyone, from reading this thread, to do anything more than keep on keeping on following God in their life, just taking their own spiritual temperature, getting a reading of His plans for them at this juncture in their life, and, appreciating how good their temperature can be, through prayer and thankfulness, to God, gracious to Him that a wonderful website like christianchat.com exists for them to exude fun, enjoyable, teaching thought to others, to give to others, to get so much, too :) The Lord leads. :)

I thank ya all, too, fellow peeps, I've gotten so much from you, good singles words, through you filtered by His love to me, sometimes, convicting, sometimes refreshing,calways getting me where the Lord wants me to go. Thank you :)

The Lord leads, julieannie.
I just want to follow Him, thank you, julieannie, for all your great thread ideas, your doing His will. You are using your gifts for helping others in life, God bless you, greatly, for that milady, and, good news, I know He has surely, because that's how He works, will now even bless you, for just letting Him speak what He wants to say greatly through you, and, in the future, will most certainly He bless you, too. :)
-----------------oOo---------------
Again, since I'm here, and, I'm not going to bring this thread up, others can, unless led, which I really don't feel led, but, thank you to who's given in the past day, and, sure, that thank you comes from me, the # went from 600 to over $800 . Praise God !

I just want us all to realize that whatever money/materials/yes, even people we are graced with comes from the Father above and through His Spirit leading and you following so much will be given you. That is what I want you to take away from this thread, again, NO guilt, just a thread to help us all understand that God is control of ALL things. He is. When you accepted Him whenever you did, at your church altar, in your bedroolm, jogging, wherever, you saw His light (like Paul, but different :) ) , YOU were then His, forevermore, in His hand shall you not be 'plucked.'

Just stay with Him, Christ peeps. He is going to get you where you are to go, where you want to go, does Scripture lie when it tells us if we delight ourselves in the Lord we will find Him, does it lie when it tells us that we will 'find' God when we search for Him with ALL our heart. Read Psalms 37:4 and Jeremiah 29:12-13 for seeing this truth of Him. But, yeah, peeples, you like me, are a little chickadee in His hand and giving to Him, however He leads, will pay GREAT glory to Him and you can only guess what that will mean for you, in Heaven, surely, but, also, on Earth :)

So, don't worry about giving money in this thread, as much as giving to Him, praying, reading His Word, plugging into Christian Chat listening, not just here, either, there are great words in the bible discussion forum for yoFu, too, surely, the Lord leads, '...you follow Me.' John 21:22 :)

Jesus, after awhile, told His disciples that He was no longer just acquaintances with them, there is some significance in this for another thread of singles somewhere, not here, please, but, Jesus said, 'I now call you, 'friend.' Wow ! Isn't that AWESOME ! !

Miladies, and, notmydudes (oh, ok, you are my dudes :D ), God is YOUR FRIEND . Do you believe that? He gave us a Comforter, Counselor, after He left Earth and ascended to His Father, a giving of Himself, just like God gave of Himself via Holy Spirit seed into Mary .

Jesus, therefore, imparted the Holy Spirit to those who believe once He left, a Spirit who walks and talks with us along this narrow way, He became unto your temple (body) a friend. Just follow this 'friend,' who will never leave you nor forsake you, unlike EVERY ONE else in the world, because they just will. But, He will not, He is truly your BFF, Jesus is YOUR best friend forever. And ever and ever. And ever. And ever-ever-ever. Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it, you are His, the bride of Christ is the church, we who are in Him are 'the church.'
Commit your life to Him and see what happens, financially, emotiionally, and, of course, spiritually, letting Him lead, and, like Proverbs 16:3 says, '...you will have success.'

It's ALL His, peeples, never forget . Use your talents, your tithe of time, or whatever, to give to Him and I can't guarantee it because I am not God but you an be sure Scripture is truth and, like the parable of the talents, I can assure you that giving is good and keeping is bad.

So, you want to change your life. HOw? You got to become different, become so different in your approach that people will say something about you, and, following Him and He getting the glory will bring you so much. So, give it away It's the giving not the getting that matters , you think about that and all that God wants you to ponder right now as you listen to this song and realize that in whatever language we speak, we are to give 'it' away :)

I LOVE you all, fellow peeps of His, and, you that haven't given God a chance yet maybe getting this song on your heart will help you see God is a God of chance after chance....He wants to love you , so, give 'it' away, forever, give away your heart to Him . :)
