The Truth

You cannot be saved by being a 'good person':

"For by grace are ye saved through faith...Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8a-9 KJV)

And there are not 'many paths’ to God, there's only One:

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6 KJV)

The Bible tells us that everyone is a sinner:

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23 KJV)

You must realize that there is a punishment for sin:

"For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a KJV)

This does not mean only physical death, but also spiritual death:

"...fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28b KJV)

Jesus died on the cross for your sins:

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8 KJV)

And then He rose from the dead, conquering death:

"Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;" (Acts 10:40 KJV)

Because of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, eternal life becomes a free gift from God:

"...by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life." (Romans 5:18b KJV)

"...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23b KJV)

But just like any gift, it doesn't become yours until you receive it. To receive God's gift of eternal life you must call on the name of the Lord:

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13 KJV)

Time is growing short and you should not put off your decision. The Bible tells us:

"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)" (2 Corinthians 6:2 KJV)

There is no other way to be saved than by Jesus, and there is no better time than now to receive salvation...

Hello,

I'm sorry, but we're now having to moderate all new topics that are started in Worthy Welcome because of the amount of Porn Spammers creating accounts and starting new topics! We'll release the new topics ASAP, and we'll try our best to prevent these disgusting posts from ever making it onto the boards,

Your brother in Christ with much agape love,

George

Shalom my brothers and sisters,

First of all, welcome to our online fellowship. It's our sincere hope that you enjoy your time on our boards. Recently it occurred to me that a great number of people have come into our online fellowship within the past year or so and perhaps you've never clearly understood how the ministry operates. So I'm writing out in full detail just how the Holy Spirit led me to create a system of checks and balances within the ministry to keep everyone accountable to each other. We have a very open and transparent ministry.

First, a little bit about our moderating team. Every moderator on the boards comes from a completely unique and different background. There's no 2 moderators from the same denomination on the boards. Denominations do not play a part in our moderating style because our focus is not on denomination differences but rather our common bond in our Lord and Savior Jesus!

So if you see a thread being pulled or yanked, it's not being pulled or yanked because of a difference in theology, but rather a problem with the spirit of the thread. Of course differences are going to be expressed in any discussion -- but how these differences are voiced is the reasoning for any thread being shut down.

Now every single thread that has been started on Worthy is still in our database. Whenever a thread may disappear from the boards -- they are not deleted, but rather moved to a section hidden where an oversight committee reviews every action of the moderating team.

This is where Worthy Watchman come into play. Worthy Watchman are not moderators, but rather a host of individuals that review every thread that has been removed from the boards. Every time a thread is closed, the moderator posts the reasoning behind why the thread was closed. Any problems with moderator actions are posted and discussed.

Worthy Chat Admins review also act in the same function as Worthy Watchman in reviewing different threads and can voice their objections as well.

So you can see, that every action a moderator takes is not only reviewed by each of the other moderators -- but also every Worthy Watchman and Worthy Chat administrator.

So in essence there's nearly 50 people in moderation -- each playing different roles as a system of checks and balances so that focus is maintained!

May the Lord richly bless you,

Your brother in Christ with much agape love,

George

Hi,

How do i post a prayer request? I keep getting an error message everything that I am trying to post something on the prayer request forum

I came here to post a prayer request, but I seem unable to do so.
Hopefully posting this greeting will give me access.

Thanks.

My name is Kenny Disraili, and I have just joined this forum.

I am Non Denominational and I am looking to find other Christian friends, and fellowship with them.

I was the Senior Co-Administrator of another urban oriented forum, but the liberal views of the Administrator caused me to resign, and I have been looking for a good forum to join ever since.

I hope to make many friends here, and learn many things regarding the Christian Faith.

Hello all, I'm new here. My name is JJ. Here to learn more of the Bible and our Lord Jesus Christ. Hoping to get closer to God thru this site.

I'm a teenager, and for a long time, I was raised as a Catholic, although my family does not go to church anymore. For as long as I remember, I have had this question: How can anyone truly know what's out there? I understand that true believers "just know," but for me personally, that answer doesn't suffice. I suppose the purpose of this post is just to hear people describe how they themselves came to believe in God.

I don't think anything anyone says here could make me a believer, but I am an open person. I'm not anti-God or anything like that; I just don't--or can't--believe in Him. Perhaps in the future I'll have a reason to believe, but for now, I'm just curious to hear from people who do believe in God.

Thanks

Hello to everyone, I am Carluz from the Philippines, I am new here. Thanks for welcoming me.

I have been lurking and decided to take a closer look around this site, even though I don't always have alot to say. I have been walking with Jesus for 30 years, as He is a true friend. Hope to meet some new faces here.

Hi -

I've been reading posts here for a while as a guest and decided to register today. I've posted on other so-called Christan boards and gotten hammered when I asked legitimate questions. Seems that doesn't happen too much around here, so I hope that I might get some real answers to the questions and issues I have with the Church and with Christianity.

I'm also from Texas (is that a recent theme?), Cypress --
