Has anyone noticed just how many forums there are, both Christian and secular? I remember that back around 2004, when I joined WCF, that was the only place I ever posted. It was like it was "the" Christian forum, but after being forced to leave there, I have discovered that like with churches, there are choices and many of them.
I don't consider us "the" forum, but one of many, but there are things that make us unique. We strive for unity but not because we accept everything, but it is unity based on Biblical truth. We don't demand absolute loyalty to a person, except for Jesus Christ. I am not looking to make disciples of myself.
The point I am making is that Narrow Way Forums is a peaceful place for like-minded Christians to come together. That was our original purpose but that became distorted when many were run out of the place we had been members of and it became our voice. It became a place where we could keep talking after there had been an attempt to silence us. It became a means of getting our message out and our side of what happened to others.
We have been around for over 5 years now and my vision is a peaceful place to come together to discuss scripture and encourage each other. It is a place to congregate rather than forsaking the assembling of ourselves together before going back into the world where we must contend for the faith with many who disagree.
If anyone reading this is a Christian that desires to be a part of a family whose purpose is not to fight with each other but to help each other stand in these last days, we would love to have you join, even if this is not the primary place you like to spend time at.

Men have decieved a lot of people john . BUT GOD , oh HE OPENS THE EYES of the lambs . I have been in the Bible since I was 17 years old, and I know when I am talking to someone that knows their Bible. It is obvious you spend lots of time in your Bible, and not only know it, but you believe it, which is rarer than many think. I have complained about the way I was lied about and done at a forum I was a member of for so long, but I really feel like you were treated unfair. You never did anything but encourage people to live according to the Bible. You never got into the political controversies.
It is like with our old friend Letters that was actually charged with "using the Bible as a weapon" when all he did was answer with Bible verses. At least with me, I did get drawn into heated arguments, but you clearly deserved better. I am just glad we had this place to come together where we can still have fellowship. So many just got lost after they were banned, and nobody knows where they are. I know this was the Lord intervening, because when you mentioned your idea to start a message board where we could come together where there wasn't all the fighting, I never imagined I was going to be forced out of WCF 8 months later. The Lord knew and was preparing a place for us.
Things have changed a lot over 5 years. People have come and gone, and we have had to make adjustments and will likely have to make more if the Lord tarries, but I am thankful for the fact that we serve a God that knows everything including the things to come. I feel like the Lord could return at any moment, and finishing the race is the top priority. That, and reaching as many as possible with the truth. Most won't listen, but Jesus said that the way is straight and narrow and few there be that will find it.

Thats right my friend . The lambs shall march onwards in the glorious Lord . Staying refreshed in the bible and in prayers daily . The coming of the Lord draws nigh my friend . This world is no friend to the lambs john . They will hate us . No matter what we march onwards in the LORD and point to HE alone and all biblical reminders .
