''A TREAD DEDICATED TO ALL THE QUIET OLD TIME MEMBERS, NEW COMERS AND THE FORGOTTEN BELIEVERS WHOM ARE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE''
On here, people go and come while this forum has stay still since its inception. Reasons for
many to stay around and post not can be so many (I don't think that coming
here and posting not is a negative thing)… I believe we have not even a little idea of how
much influence the writings of Ray have had and will still. The people posting in the
forum who come back trough seasons (like me) is just a very small portion of how
ENORMOUS is this ball that keeps on rolling…….. I have met in person people on bible
conferences and trough the forum whom doesn’t post that much
or doesn’t post at all whom are trying to live by a higher spiritual standard while trying to
please God with their life, I have also been able to know of some others trough them. And I
am sure that if you start researching and putting attention on your surroundings you will
probably find more and more. I think we live on a very, VERY important transitional age in
history, the internet is way bigger and more powerful that the printing press, and just look how
much influence the protestant revolution was able to accomplished because of that new
technology. Of course I know that no one can come to God if He doesn’t call him first.
However, as in my case, God called me trough a website, I was already looking for answers
and I am still, peace of mind is a priceless thing to posses.
On the fall of 2009 I was able to travel 2 days and a half in bus to assist to the bible
conference in mobile, I wanted to interact face to face with other people whose main
believes where the same as mines, because I didn’t knew of more than one person that
believed as I do, I certainly didn’t regret that long trip at all, even so in that time I sacrificed a
lot of comfort and resources to make it. What is interesting is that on my way back I had
much more resources than when I left because many people in the conference knew about
my long trip and give me donations. My heart was so grateful, I remember it all so well and
clear... Anyway. Before I get too sentimental. I just wish that Ray had would be able to see (and
sometime he will) much more of the consequences of his writings and life example.
This forum is a place for community and to get reinforced and encourage in what has
already been revealed to us. It might not have the enough space to let some people
teach a whole new topic. However, even if we keep studying farther and find about new
stuff in our own, the truths that should keep us glued when coming here are (and will always be) important
and strong enough to keep the fellowship. So, let’s get some fun, judge not and even if we
don’t post that much because whatever the circumstances, let’s try to still show presence
once a while! That will surely give more live to this breathing organism that is still alive, and
if God’s will; it will stay still. I am sure there are hundreds of great people that we don’t know
about whom are out there somewhere keeping the faith and spreading love. For them too, I
dedicate this tread.
