Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
There is nothing new under the Sun. How many cycles and how many resets and how many attempts have been made to "make a new world", in the political sense? We cannot imagine, because we are limited to what we know, and that in itself is limited. Someone once reminded me, when I had so many questions of what a Christ centered world would look like and be like to live in, that we could not know because God was not done yet, HE only rested after 7 days. During this time that we await the Great Awakening, we should, in my opinion practice godliness in our lives, that will cause an inner revolution against whatever lurking and lingering "sin", (separation from our God), we cause a ripple once we are changed, that ripple may hit artificial reefs and flotsam and jetsam , pushing it to shore, to be cleaned up. Our new culture is something that is happening, but do not look to merely replace, new lyrics using the same melody is just the same old song.
