How has Worthy Boards helped?

[vitality22004]

It's been great for me to have the freedom of exploring ideas about our faith in a free forum where there is no condemnation for raising a question that often happens in religous circles.

How has Worthy NOT helped?

I will delve into my testimony, as abbreviated as possible, lol, but I will get to Worthy I promise!

I gave my life to God as a teen. As a young adult, I found myself backslidden; it wasn't something I intended to do, but it happened. I would make attempts at living for God again but I always seemed to fall short. Almost 5 years ago, I finally turned my life back to Him. In 2003, I went through one of the most trying circumstances-I lost my job through no fault of my own. A few months after that I "stumbled" across Worthy! God has used Worthy to keep me on a stable footing. I know that I have friends, Christian friends, that I can come to when things go wrong and they're here to support me. When the church I was going to started turning heretical, I knew I could still come here and get sound Christian prayer!

God has also allowed me to help here. George asked me about 1 1/2 years ago to be part of a new program he felt led to institute-Watchmen on the Wall. I feel privileged that God would allow me to serve in such a great way in what is truly a worldwide ministry. I've had the privilege of praying with those in doubt or who are struggling in chat and one of the greatest things was seeing Nik (Bread of Life) giving his heart to the Lord.

Again I have to ask-how has Worthy not helped?

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?

I met a really faithful young woman on here. She is a very good friend! Never fails to write to me and say at least "Hello" when she can write. So I made at least one true friend on here at Worthyboards.

Worthy is a very special place. I have grown here and so have many i have come to know. We did'nt get here by accident. We were INVITED !!! I have personally witnessed miracles in peoples lives as a result of them being here. I love the boards a lot and really really love worthy chat. When George asked me to be a worthy admin, i was delighted in my heart to be able to serve God and each one of you. This special special placed called worthy is like no other. The Lord willing i will grow old and gray here. Well I already am kind of old and gray. well you know what I mean. Great thread by the way.

I experienced a severe betrayal in my personal life last year, and as a minister there was really no one who could comfort me during the evening hours when my mind drifted to this emotional pain. So I came to worthy boards to meet some friends unrelated to my ministry or even aware of my pain. This forum gave me an outlet for expression and interesting conversation that kept the tempter off my back. Thank you everyone.

i have already learned alot here on these boards. such as the scripture K.L. shared from hebrews, i was looking for that exact scripture a while ago, the forsake not the assembling yourselves together...., reference someone that was saying the bible did not require us to go to church. anywhere we assemble, (get together) to study the word, is i believe, a church, and where 2 or more are assembled in my name, there i will be, (i think that is right). anyway, as to whether or not these boards have helped my life, yes, i have to dig deeper into the bible to discuss the issues and keep up with the discussion, although sometimes i get left in the dust, it won't always be that way. also it has enabled me to share with others looking for answers, and it is when i am looking for their answers, whether in the bible or in my mind and soul, is when i learn the most. i don't always agree with what i see here, but it makes me study the prove up or back down. all this and i have only been coming here several months, i think. i like it here.
