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 evolving
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
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

1 Samuel 16:7
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
Amen. And thank the Lord for that. 🙏
Amen.
It reminds me of this verse:
Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
-Matthew 23:26
Amen. The Lords enemies are mine as well.
🙏🏻❤️
Is today the 6th day Trump is in office? Amazing.. we'll be counting everyday for the next 4 years imo.
"Hammer of Justice" seems to be the words I'll be using daily.
Have a blessed Sunday, Frens!
Charles Haddon Spurgeon January 25th — Evening Reading
"Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." — Romans 3:31
When the believer is adopted into the Lord's family, his relationship to old Adam and the law ceases at once; but then he is under a new rule, and a new covenant. Believer, you are God's child; it is your first duty to obey your heavenly Father. A servile spirit you have nothing to do with: you are not a slave, but a child; and now, inasmuch as you are a beloved child, you are bound to obey your Father's faintest wish, the least intimation of His will. Does He bid you fulfil a sacred ordinance? It is at your peril that you neglect it, for you will be disobeying your Father. Does He command you to seek the image of Jesus? Is it not your joy to do so? Does Jesus tell you, "Be ye perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect"? Then not because the law commands, but because your Saviour enjoins, you will labour to be perfect in holiness. Does He bid his saints love one another? Do it, not because the law says, "Love thy neighbour," but because Jesus says, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments;" and this is the commandment that He has given unto you, "that ye love one another." Are you told to distribute to the poor? Do it, not because charity is a burden which you dare not shirk, but because Jesus teaches, "Give to him that asketh of thee." Does the Word say, "Love God with all your heart"? Look at the commandment and reply, "Ah! commandment, Christ hath fulfilled thee already-I have no need, therefore, to fulfill thee for my salvation, but I rejoice to yield obedience to thee because God is my Father now and He has a claim upon me, which I would not dispute." May the Holy Ghost make your heart obedient to the constraining power of Christ's love, that your prayer may be, "Make me to go in the path of Thy commandments; for therein do I delight." Grace is the mother and nurse of holiness, and not the apologist of sin.

Psalm 91:8 - You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/psa.91.8
We are witnessing that now.
I had some dreams that woke me up and I can't get the idea of class action lawsuits for all the covid/DIE discrimination we went through from 2021-24 out of my mind.

Good morning GAW family! Wishing y'all a wonderful Sunday!
The genius about Trumps RTO mandate for federal employees?
Makes it easier to round em up for arrests!
Since the benefits have run out, would it be a good idea for ice to show up at 'feeding america' sites to find illegals? (they aren't getting cards with money on them to spend at the grocery store. and at least some of the feeding america sites do not require documentation to get boxes of random free food.)
it might be necessary to have the deportees wear parachutes so they can be released over their country if they aren't allowed to land. just a thought.
