ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK

rbanks Apr 26, 2012

One thing I can say about SI and it’s posters, and that is, if you come on here than you will grow and be a better person or the worse will come out of you because you will be challenged. You have entered in at your own risk because no matter who you are you will be hit by somebody.

Oh that people could treat one another on SI with more love and respect even when we differ on the issues at hand

I have learned one thing, that all need to be able to do, and that is to be able to shake things off and not let it affect you when people say things in writing that is accusing you because I have learned that the devil wants you to fall into his trap so just shake it off and go on. Let’s all learned to be more careful with the way we communicate to one another and also don’t take things to heart so easily in thinking that you already know everything that he was really meaning to say because we could be wrong.

amen brother.

If we could treat each other as we would be treated things would be much different. This passage from Philippians 2:1-7 speaks volumes to the great need for Christian unity, love, and preferring others above ourselves. This it holiness in Christian life and may we be appropriators of it by God's grace and mercy. And also exhibit it on the forums, what a ground for testing the genuineness of our walks with Jesus Christ daily if we participate on the forums here with brothers and sisters of many different Christian groups and denominations.

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature~~[b]~~ of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
