I'm looking down the list of topics on this board. We've got your OSAS haters, your OSAS advocates, your various groups on the issue of Genesis, End Times discussions, sick and poor debate, can't leave home without at least one Sabbath debate, a couple of TV evangelist threads, someone briefly popped in to start the homosexuals-ain't-wrong agenda, and even though he's been banned it's still going on, and pages of pages of debate over someone simply wanted to publicly ask for forgiveness, so I need to check. Does anyone remember we're supposed to be here for one common reason -- God?
It seems like so many variations of prove-a-point, I'm just seeing how many others remember the one and only point we are supposed to be agreeing about is God. So many side issues. How about the main issue? What happened to glorifying God? Remember him? He's supposed to be all of our hero, so why so little focus on our hero?
There is this guy on this board who is checking out the Bible for the first time. He's actually going to read it all the way through, just to check out God. Notice what else he's checking out because he's on this board? Eeeek! Kind of like showing my dirty undies in public feeling.
(And just to be clear, I'm not guiltless. Look how new I am and how many posts I've made. This is not an un-opinionated woman talking and I get that! So don't think I'm sticking my nose up in the air. It's too big to get velocity to raise it up. lol I'm just saying this feels like a swamp and I forget if there is any solid ground anymore. Isn't he our solid ground, and aren't we supposed to be aiming for him? How do we aim, if we can't even keep him in our site?)
And, if you get defensive. Just don't. I'm defensive too, because I've contributed too much. No need to get your back against the wall. Most of us are doing the same thing. If you need your back against a wall, join us. It's a long wall! Sturdy too, so it won't fall on our weight. (Or maybe it will but that's a good thing.)
But honestly, if you start with another, "Yeah look what others are doing" again, I'm rectifying my pea shooter and pulling out a ream of paper for spitballs.
So what fixes this? God! Remember he IS our purpose!
