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
The last few days have been quite remarkable. Let's just say there were some very unusual, pleasant, and unexpected surprises that were very humbling. The exact details don't matter.
What matters is that each one of us are given this extraordinary opportunity at this time in world history to do accomplish two goals:
-To do God's work so we can get to Heaven, and
-To help get as many frens there as we can along the way.
Every action we undertake and what we say, no matter how small or seemingly irrelevant, can help in this process. I am more convinced of this now than ever, and the last few days have greatly reinforced that, especially in the support of the Great Awakening. I feel very blessed and fortunate. Thank you all for letting me be part of this incredible community.
John 15:16 NIV
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
Doing God's work is good, but not necessary to enter Heaven.
I agree. There is a shift and it feels that things are lining up for God to do some shaking. I’m all set.
Funny, I've been ruminating on the same topic a lot lately. Had my first straight up negative reaction to gentle witnessing yesterday, and while it didn't exactly make me lose sleep, it was still something new and unexpected I had to process.
Appreciate the post, it came at the right time for me. 🙏
:) love you fren. God bless. Would love to hear more sometime in PM if you are ever willing. Keep pushing forward in the Lord. Jesus Christ is KING
