Has worthy made an impact on you or someone you know?

[ayin jade]

Some recent events lately have had me wondering what impact worthy forums or chat has had on people. So I decided to ask you all.

Do you know of an instance where worthy forums or chat has made a difference in someone's life? How so? (Without revealing confidential stuff of course.)

It made a difference in my life. Being disabled and unable to get out Worthy became a place of fellowship, a place where I could come and discuss His word with others when I didn't have 'others' in my life.

Every time the truth is told, someone is affected. Every time love is given, someone is affected. Every time iron sharpens iron, someone is affected.

I have been on both sides of the bench on all of these, and more. I have found great relationships in Christ on this site and I look forward to meeting every one of them when we are with Him. As for helping others, we many never know how our words Christ spoke through us will affect anyone, but we are assured that His words will not return void.

Personally, I have spoken to many addicts and have given them my story and what I had to do to overcome. Some have told me I helped, others just said thanks. Either way, I was someone to talk with when they needed to talk, or someone to listen to them when they needed to talk.

Worthy has become my home ...

I too was without a church for several years. Worthy became my "fellowship," and actually I got more Christian fellowship out of this place than I had at church!

I learned from the teachings and points of views of others.

I gained friends. Some I have gotten to meet. in person!

I was blessed with comfort, encouragement, and support from my Worthy family when I was down and struggling.

In a time of dire need, a friend from Worthy met my need.

I have grown, learned, and been challenged from the interactions here.

And it seems I have been used by the Lord to minister to others here.

[winsomebulldog]

Worthy has definitely been a profound blessing to me. I have learned a great deal here and received more encouragement than I could ever express. As others have said, I am so looking forward to the day when I can meet my Worthy friends face to face and share the glory of Heaven with them.

God Is Good

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17

And I Am So

So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. Luke 17:10

Blessed

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. Romans 15:9-11

Yes good and bad.

God's good in that through Worthy I met South and we were married. I am married to a woman who is absolutely soaked in the Spirit, who knows her bible better than our pastor, and whom I am blessed to have as a wife.

Good because I have learned so much from people who know what they are talking about, and use the bible, and not opinion, as the base for their debate.

Good because I have been able to help and encourage people through the boards and chat, and e mails, and Skype, etc. And made friends all over the world.

Good because it has made me think, and then study, and then write stuff I use at home group, in churches, and in my daily life.

Bad because at one stage I did not know how to regulate my everyday life versus Worthy (which if we were to be honest can become "addictive"). Who would have thought that something so God blessed could become a millstone because one ignored other things and concentrated on one?

I have learned that there must be balance in everything we do, from eating, exercise, work, church, and Worthy.

This made me assess a good few things in my daily walk, and put in place ways to balance it out.

The only excess I now want and need is Jesus. And I don't have to go anywhere, log on anywhere, read anything to revel in that excess.

Because I carry him inside me.

And He lifts me up.

Blessings

Oh yes absolutely! Balance in all things. We need to know when to let some things go and draw some closer.

[He giveth more grace]

Yes! Before I came back the last time I thought that I would never become a part of this board, it's so huge, and relationships are already established, it seemed impossible to ge established here, but I finally did.

I love the the students of the word and getting their perspective.

I love contributing is some small way.

I love getting Email messages

I come to Worthy every day because I always receive a blessing here. There are always new posts in a big variety (i.e. strengthening, encouraging, prayer, fellowship, and more). I firmly believe in God's Promises, one being that His Word never returns void. I give thanks for Worthy and all of the sweet Christians here.
