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.

2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (March 15th)
"I will take heed to my ways." — Psalm 39:1
Fellow-pilgrim, say not in your heart, "I will go hither and thither, and I shall not sin;" for you are never so out of danger of sinning as to boast of security. The road is very miry, it will be hard to pick your path so as not to soil your garments. This is a world of pitch; you will need to watch often, if in handling it you are to keep your hands clean. There is a robber at every turn of the road to rob you of your jewels; there is a temptation in every mercy; there is a snare in every joy; and if you ever reach heaven, it will be a miracle of divine grace to be ascribed entirely to your Father's power. Be on your guard. When a man carries a bomb-shell in his hand, he should mind that he does not go near a candle; and you too must take care that you enter not into temptation. Even your common actions are edged tools; you must mind how you handle them. There is nothing in this world to foster a Christian's piety, but everything to destroy it. How anxious should you be to look up to God, that He may keep you! Your prayer should be, "Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe." Having prayed, you must also watch; guarding every thought, word, and action, with holy jealousy. Do not expose yourselves unnecessarily; but if called to exposure, if you are bidden to go where the darts are flying, never venture forth without your shield; for if once the devil finds you without your buckler, he will rejoice that his hour of triumph is come, and will soon make you fall down wounded by his arrows. Though slain you cannot be; wounded you may be. "Be sober; be vigilant, danger may be in an hour when all seemeth securest to thee." Therefore, take heed to thy ways, and watch unto prayer. No man ever fell into error through being too watchful. May the Holy Spirit guide us in all our ways, so shall they always please the Lord.
I saved this from last night and saved it to read again this morning I especially liked, "Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe." Having prayed, you must also watch, guarding every thought, word, and action, with holy jealousy." thank you for posting this.
" Having prayed, you must also watch, guarding every thought, word, and action, with holy jealousy." "
...Amen...
God bless you for your participation.

Any ideas?

For Family. For God's Family.
Here’s an interesting music video…
A song that seems intensely relevant right now, being sung in the middle of what we’ve found to be several mechanisms of war.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=1oHqsHEPFGE
If we seek to serve the Prince of Peace, how is peace attained?
Should we not study war, or should we study how to avert war? If the answers to aversion are in the Bible as we think, as I believe they are, what are the steps?
I have trouble not getting someone upset over silly things like the DoE going away, and I try very hard to be respectful and kind. Is the problem just that their heart is seeking after the wrong god(s), so I can’t win them over while their desired course is headed in the wrong direction?
How do you pursue peace without speaking out against the things that are causing the wars? Doing the latter doesn’t seem to be very effective, as it is itself a form of war.
Am I just ignoring the plank in my own eye?
I think I like this version better.

His take on God is interesting.

Ahhh! He was involved in all sorts of communist war efforts, too!!!
Is that song just secretly a tool of the Adversary or are we doing it wrong?
How did keeping the astronauts in space help the Biden regime?
I saw a.Mercedes Benz owned by a liberal yesterday. it was clear because there was a sticker upon said vehicle indicating that they were upset because their illegal alien toilet maid had fled across the border to her home country taking her illegal lawn mower and dogdoo picker upper along back home.
Hot dog! I see that the Sunday Funnies are here. I can't wait to dig in.
