Jesus said “have faith in God”. I think that it’s good to check in with God about the opportunties we see in front of us. Even if, by our own understanding, all the opportunities look equally good. Here is an analogy. When we go grocery shopping we take a certain level of care selecting our produce. We’ll pick up an apple or bell pepper and flip it around to look for obvious faults. We do this because we want the best produce we can get for our money. In other words, we want the good fruit (and vegetables). If God were shopping with us, and actually he is if you think about it, we would never get a bad apple. But choosing produce is not as important as choosing a job, career, business opportunity or even a church for that matter. This is not to say that some of the possibilities are going to lead to ruin if we get them wrong. We know that God is all knowing, full of love and a giver of good gifts. So if we include God in our decisions won’t he point us to the one that is best? There is of course more to this because hearing from God requires a level of faith. I won’t address that problem here beyond admitting that I sometimes struggle with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only forum on Worthy that can be posted to by unregistered "Guests". The goal here is that guests can come to Worthy, read the forums, and ask questions about the Lord in Seeker's without having to first register. Our foremost burden with this forum has been to preach the gospel to the unsaved. However, since we started this forum the focus has been changing. We have gotten a number of "trolls" here, and atheists whose only desire is to contend with the faith. In a sense we have opened the door for argument and debate, where we had intended it to be simply for the gospel. It is so easy for the saints to lose sight of the purpose of this forum, and to involve themselves with apologetic type arguments. Therefore, to curb the number of these debates, we have decided to place the entire forum under "moderator review". What this means is that a moderator will first review all posts that go to this forum in order to insure its appropriateness to the forum's intentions. Current members may respond to a post here, but these will also be reviewed by a moderator and approved, or not approved, as they apply to the gospel. Please note that any moderator here can approve or not approve a post to the forum. Which means that posts that are not approved simply remain in the post queue - they are not deleted. We do not wish to offend any member by not approving their post, or by choosing one over another. Our desire here is strictly to obey the Lord's leading. We are very burdened here for the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ. So "Seekers" will be a place especially for that purpose. We must remember the Lord's command to us to spread the gospel to the nations (Mark 13:10). We hope that "Seekers" will facilitate at least a portion of the Lord's burden. We would ask all Worthy members to pray for the ministry, but particularly for this forum. Pray that the Lord will provide increase to His Body through this forum. Pray for the sons of peace (Luke 10:6) in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
