Fellowship in the body

[Layla]

One of the things I first noticed about this board was how gentle, encouraging, edifying, open and honest everyone was with each other.  A unity was visible that was unlike any other forum. It's like with our own bodies how if our eyes are dry, we'll apply a little saline to refresh them, or if we stub our toe, we apply a little ointment to soothe it.  This is how I see this forum interacting with each of its members.  There is a unity clearly visible where each member respects and connects each member of the body of Christ, which we are.  I know I haven't been here that long and I understand that there has been a little storm that has passed through, but I think the fellowship here is unique and in union as a body with Christ as the head.  The same purpose, perhaps, i.e. growing in Christ. (Bobby I notice that you have written a lot of posts that encourage such fellowship, I'm glad you are not going anywhere).  Anyway I just wanted to let you all know what I see.

Peace,
Layla

Layla, that is encouraging to hear, thank you for stating such. You have made me envision God nodding his approval.

You're right, when we let CHRIST be the HEAD, the body automatically follows with the same purpose.  To Him be the glory!   

This forum has also given me the same warm feeling, I never imagined I would find so many like-believers, I am thanking God plenty for this forum.

Yep, that's what I like about this forum, too--there are no "bad vibes" here. I haven't read any posts that suggest any, but that's what I get for being new here. I've read many other so-called Christian forums and the lust for damnation for others is horrendous! It's like these people can't wait for Armegeddon! Let's never let that kinda stuff invade here.--snorky

Kind of gives sense to Christ's two commandments doesn't it. Love God and your neighbor as yourelf. It doesn't get much better than that!

This board did go through a bit of a rough patch, but I believe it is a better place because of it. I agree with you Layla, Bobby just emanates love and compassion in his posts. They make me feel good.

Layla,  What a great post!  You captured my feelings about the forum as well in your words.  We are so blessed and lucky to have such a wonderful place to come together with like-minded believers.  I've never been on another forum and was scared to death to post on this one.  I have learned so much about love and compassion and patience already from the members here in such a short amount of time (even and maybe especially during the "little storm").  It is absolutely amazing!  I too never thought I'd ever find a group of people who reflected the unity and love of true faith in God.  God is so awesome!!!!
