How has Worthy Boards helped?

[David from New Bern]

I can't help but noticed there are a lot of stories here on this forum. A lot of injured and abused Christians disconnected it seems from the church either emotionally or entirely out of church. These individuals seem to crave a feeling of belonging or participation in something. Is there anyone here can tell me what need Worthy Boards has met in your life? Has anyone successfully used something gained here to improve your outlook or brought about healing? By the way, it has helped me heal from some emotional trauma, that is why I ask?

Has this place helped me, oh yes. I came here over a year ago, lost and wounded. I read the threads, I participated some, I prayed for others and asked for prayers myself. Its changed my mind about a few things also.

I've dug through my Bible more, questioned more, prayed more...................I love many of the people here, and pray for them every night. I've been angry, frustrated, sad, happy and amused and joyful.

I love it here..................................

I get to vent and also be as goofy as I like. Well almost as goofy as I like. I've seen some good people come and go and I've seen some less desireable people come and go. It makes my day when I can be a positive influence on people I've never met. And I'm sorry for the people that experienced the darker side of me. Overall, it's tickity boo.

Grace to you,

Are you kidding?

I've got a bumper sticker that say's,"Worthy Ministries Saved me from Religiousity! Whitened my teeth and made me ten years younger"!

If anyone wants one? Ted's selling em on the fly at the Worthy Gear store.

Sincerely, This Ministry means alot to me. It is my high honor to Serve alongside veteran and new recruits in the Army of the Lord.

The Lord has used Worthy to further my walk and to impress upon me the meaning of True Religion.

All to Jesus my brethren, all to Jesus.

Peace,

Dave

Yes actually, it has given me a broader veiw of theology and made me stronger Christian.

I am new to Worthy Boards, and detest chat rooms and bulletin boards.... I have been converted. I was amazed to read such diverse ideas, and directions others go in their studies, that I wouldn't have even bothered. But reading the passion from these brothers challenges me to research and study more... of course I find them to be wrong, but at least it made me study more (that was a joke by the way)

My wife says my life is full of controversy of scripture. And she just thinks I'm enjoying being yelled at... but I have never experienced anything close to this here... yet. When I begin a study, it usually takes about a year before people are bold enough to dig in and prove me wrong. Here it's a matter of minutes. And nothing can be personal, since we really don't "know" eachother.

Heb 10:24-25 And let us consider one another, to incitement of love and of good works, (25) not forsaking the assembling together of ourselves, as is the custom of some, but exhorting, and by so much more as you see the Day drawing near.

I'm sure Yeshua (Jesus) is preparing a Worthy Boardroom in glory!

Thankyou.

K.L.

I want to be straight forward. I have had some very uplifting times here. Yet also it has been somewhat discouraging at times. So much so that I have left from time to time. I came here (can't remember how long exactly) because I did not have a church home (and still do not). The preachers on television were my only church. The reason I stopped going is a story that some people would not believe. So, when I hear comments like "If you don't attend a local church regularly, you are probably not in fellowship with GOD," I stop listening to whomever made the statement. Having said that I would also add that I know my relationship to HIM, should be so much better. I would never, never, never advise anyone to stop attending church. Yet, I want others to reserve their judgement in my case, because they don't know the rest of my story. In any event, one day I was praying over this issue of not having a church family, and the LORD (or at least I felt like HE) spoke to me about finding this type of avenue (Worthy Boards) to have a church family. I was so excited about it and felt that some of the guilt I had about not going to church would be lifted. I felt sure that this was the way HE was telling me that I could serve HIM. I have since wondered if I have gotten the message wrong. I have a job where I am alone and basically have no friends. I have been taken advantage of so many times that I find that the love I once had, is waxing cold. I don't want that to happen, because I know what the LORD said about our love waxing cold. This seemed like such a good idea. Just recently I felt the LORD was prompting me to come back and make a thread all my own. Although it had very little response, I was very uplifted by the people who took the time to post on it. So, that was very positive. I feel that it is very strange that someone would start a thread where I could finally say what Worthy Boards has meant to me, and I want to thank you very much. I truly want to serve the LORD in some way. I have so much guilt about not serving HIM, in light of the fact that I'm not around too many other people. But, sadly I realize that I miss so many chances to lift HIM up to others, just because I'm distracted by life and also I stand in my own way. I ask for prayer on this issue. Later.

Worthy Boards has given me a place to share my poems.

It has introduced me to some wonderful people.

It has given me people to pray for me and for me to pray for.

It has given me a different point of view regarding doctrine.

It has given me the encouragement to study scripture more.

The enemy is a bully, so he would love to keep you isolated. Seek fellowship. I'm not saying go to church, but that can't6 hurt either, but seek fellowship. Where two or more are gathered, there He is.

Proverbs 27:17

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

We need each other...

That is my opinion of this great place of fellowshiop..

The only good thing to come out of Kiara being hurt..
