The following is applied to all guests, members, and even Moderators for all of our well-being.
We're here to build each other up. Not tear each other down. So please respect others as you yourself want to be respected.
If you are guided by the Spirit, you won't obey your selfish desires.
Remember, The Spirit and your fleshly/carnal desires are enemies of each other. They are always fighting against each other and are trying to keep you from doing what you feel you should.
But if you obey the Spirit, the flesh has no control over you. You are more than conquerers through Jesus Christ. Remember this when you feel 'the urge' to give in to your unseemly desires.
People's desires make them give in to immoral ways, filthy thoughts, and shameful deeds,,,, even hate others, and are hard to get along with.
People become jealous, angry, and selfish. They not only argue and cause trouble, but they are envious.... And since we're here to bless, encourage, and lift others up, we really don't wana go there.
Especially when we take into account that we as individuals are no better than anyone else on this earth. And in fact, can only say: "But by the Grace of God go I!" Remember that no one who acts in these ways will share in the blessings of God's kingdom.
God's Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. There is no better way to say this than what is being transliterated from scripture right now. But I want to say this; as Christians; children of The True and Living God, and members of this forum, I would like for every body here to become accountable to each other in a loving, kind, and caring way.
Because we belong to Christ Jesus, we have killed our selfish feelings and desires. Unfortunately, we do not always see the errors of our way. So we need each other. What we do not need is people brow beating us into submission. So I feel that it must be said [plainly], that absolutely no mean spirited actions will be tolerated.
God's Spirit has given us life, and so we should never allow ourselves to tear down what God has built.
Friends, brothers and sisters; we have found our way here, because we have found ourselves struggeling with something in our lives or we want to be a blessing to those who are struggeling. So please let us just walk in love, patience, and understanding?
Sincerely & Respectfully
