Before hitting Post...

[TitusTwoWife]

From my X / Twitter “For you feed” this evening:

“A few quick reminders for every believer before hitting ‘submit’:

Speak truth with love (Eph 4:15)
Be quick to listen, slow to speak (Ja 1:19)
Let your words build up, not tear down (Eph 4:29)
Don’t repay insult with insult (1Pet 3:9)
Avoid foolish argument (2 Tim 2:23)
Show gentleness to all (Titus 3:2)
Do everything for God’s glory (1 Cor 10:31)

The world is watching. Represent Christ well.”

I have to remind myself that I don't really have anything to protect here.

The forum is a little bit artificial in nature. Most people don't reveal themselves who they really are. So these can post anonymously without any kind of responsibility. And this causes some to be extravagant in their judgments. They are safe behind their computer screens.

What I find to be difficult is to answer people who are speaking things that are obviously untrue...just not to them.

The forum is public. These aren't private chats. So then the advantage of getting the message OUT THERE...can quickly turn into a mob gathering if the truth rankles too much. And for some that makes the forum more interesting.

My fear is for the weaker ones who come here and see the division and insults being hurled around.

But this is not a church...not a gathering of believers...it is a chat group where people can hammer out what they think Christianity is.

Results will vary! :)

My hope is that by choosing to be invested, sincere, and gentle, I can help people remember these qualities in themselves. And honestly, that's all I can do, besides pray.

This is good. I appreciate your role here. My role is not expected to be popular by any means. We all have different experiences and capacities/gifts. We can't expect everyone to communicate the same things or the same way. We need to discern the body of Christ. But we also need to discern who is in dire need of help and re-direction. Not everyone here is a teacher or has a body ministry. Opinions fly around willy nilly, and many are so indoctrinated that they say things without any kind of reasoning or biblical support (apart from a faulty interpretation).
