I've been here for a little over a year now. When I joined, I was at a very low point in my life, litterally dying, and ready for God to call me home. I didn't think my life had purpose anymore. I was wrong. I found fellowship and purpose here. I have never witnessed as much quarreling and negativity as as I have seen lately. I'm thinking that it may be time to say goodbye. I will of course pray about it, but it weighs on my heart to be witness to Christians hurting others when we're to love one another. None of us are righteous, no not one. Ask yourself if you're showing Jesus or if you need to examine your heart.
Keeping the faith will always offend wayward believers that go astray that are exalting something else in His name that takes believers' eyes off of Him. They are still brothers and sisters to me, but I am to hate the sin and love the snner when it comes to ministry outreach and so I am to love my brothers & sisters but hate the heresy.
It may be that God is just calling you to cheer believers up, to spread a little sunshine around; even if it is to remind them to love one another even when the other is wrong because they are His still, even when they are astray or even if for some reason, they stop believing in Him for one reason or another; if they believe not, He is faithful because He still abides. See 1 Timothy 2:13 )
Sometimes, starting a fun thread can accomplish that ministry and allow the Lord to lead even me away to take a break and know that those I contend with that oppose themselves are simply not listening so I can ask Him for help to let go.
Pray about it.
Matthew 10:[SUP]2 [/SUP]And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
Matthew 25:[SUP]40 [/SUP]And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
