Christian Chat is a moderated online Christian community allowing Christians around the world to fellowship with each other in real time chat via webcam, voice, and text, with the Christian Chat app. You can also start or participate in a Bible-based discussion here in the Christian Chat Forums, where members can also share with each other their own videos, pictures, or favorite Christian music.
If you are a Christian and need encouragement and fellowship, we're here for you! If you are not a Christian but interested in knowing more about Jesus our Lord, you're also welcome! Want to know what the Bible says, and how you can apply it to your life? Join us!

Thank you so much to everyone for being so kind, welcoming, and loving! It's nice to meet you all 
Haha, well I'm glad to hear God has already used me to be of service in expanding the vocabulary!
Honestly, at present, I've been feeling "alone" not having true believers to connect, share, and grow with, and my desire to find that community has been burning, until God planted in my head to search for Christian chat groups, which is something I never would have thought of or pursued before. And here you all are!
Hello Sarah, we are glad that you have joined us at Christian Chat. Encouragement is important to all of us and indeed we need encouragement from you too.
Look through the forums to find a thread that interests you and join in on the conversation. We look forward to hearing from you. A big welcome coming your way!
That's so sweet, thank you very much!
I love cats, and have 2 - I super appreciate this - thank you!
Love and appreciate this encouragement, thank you!

p.s. - I saw that your favorite Bible passage is Proverbs 3:5-6, so I thought you might enjoy this quote and linked message below it from Pastor Chuck Swindoll, since both are based upon that passage from Proverbs. Dr. Swindoll is also the Chancellor of Dallas Theological Seminary, which is where he gave the sermon (I believe as part of their commencement a few years ago). It's a fairly short excerpt from his sermon, just FYI.
Hi Sarah, What a pleasant introduction .. Welcome and God Bless Sis ..
Thank you, kindly!
Hello and Welcome to C.Chat!
I believe you have taken the first step in that direction your own, just by signing up. You will find a great many personalities here. Just feel free to cruise about the different threads, as you feel lead to go into them.
If you find someone you want to chat with and want to let them know you are trying to reach them, you can use the @IFOLLOWHIM or whatever the name is of the person you want to chat with is with the @ symbol in front of it. This will flag them to the thread you are trying to reach them in. There is a general chat thread call The Chat Thread that is good for just general chat. Otherwise, if you have the paid version of C.Chat then you can send them out of thread messages just to them or a group of people at the same time and you can all chat that way. There is debate threads, thought provoking threads and just fun ones like the Random threads that are just to have some good. clean fun. Hope this helps and hope to chat with you around the threads sometime!
This has been amazing and very helpful, thank you so much!
Indeed, He has!Haha, well I'm glad to hear God has already used me to be of service in expanding the vocabulary!
I know the feeling, and your reasons for coming here are very similar to mine. I'm extremely cautious about the people with whom I will fellowship. As we know, not everyone who says to Jesus, "Lord, Lord ..." (Mt 7:21). There is also 1Co 5:9-13, where we are instructed not even to associate with someone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Paul doesn't even want us to share a meal with them!
Hello again SarahRachael, so you have no local church/body of believers, or even a Bible Study group nearby perhaps, that you can fellowship with regularly/personally?
I treasure this place as a Christian for a number of different reasons, but I think that I would find it impossible to live the Christian life w/o fellowship in the "real" world (so to speak) too.

I say this somewhat ashamedly, no, I haven't! It's something I've been longing for for years - any kind of community, friends that I can talk to about any and everything Christ-centred and Biblical, and I haven't found it. I'm an introvert (who can often socialize like an extrovert - depending who I'm around or my mood, haha), but for the most part, when it comes to going out into the community and just... walking into a church I've never been before, or attending a bible group at a church I've never been before where I don't know anyone, especially to do that solo, it's something SO incredibly out of my comfort zone (being honest!). So I've never done it! But here I am now in CC? It's a starting point, right?!
