Bob, is there anything we are doing wrong as an online community? I would like to know... Thanks!

Conclusion:

Online fellowship certainly does not replace face-to-face fellowship in the gospel. We commend and encourage all who labor to further the local EKKLESIA according to the truth of the gospel. Having said that, it is obvious that God is severely cursing most local assemblies and denominations today for their hatred of and apostasy from the advancing Reformation truths pouring out of the sacred scriptures. Only by belief in the advancing light of gospel truth will the elect avoid the extreme deceptions of the present age. God is filling denominational and independent churches with heresy, devils, and damned souls. It is in judgment for their putrid disinterest in the true gospel and love of idolatrous fables, exalting human will-worship, and pleasing the demands of men. But the internet cannot be controlled by church leaders who have succeeded for centuries in squashing the advancement of truth by institutional power. God will increasingly use this medium as a testimony against the centuries-old deceptions of church leaders.Bob this is such a well put synopsis. It's obvious that God is disseminating his gospel outside the confines of the "church" and that we are part of that.
The only question to be asked of us is this: will we take the stewardship that God has given us in this type of ministry seriously? If we do not, the Lord will raise up others.I think we are all here for such a time as this and have been called for this purpose.
This article has attempted to demonstrate the place of an online Christian forum in the EKKLESIA of Jesus Christ. As always, interaction is welcome!

--Bro. BobThanks Bob, your words are an encouragement and a blessing as always.

This is a subject that I have only begun to formulate a clear position on (in my thinking) in recent weeks and days. I think we have all discussed many times what our past errors have been--mine being as great as those of anyone else. I believe it is time to meditate on the future and what the Lord would have us pursue in light of the realities of our time confronting us.

As far as what we might be doing wrong (specifically) and how we could better honor the gospel of Christ in our ministry, that is an ongoing discussion. I don't have immediate answers and do not want to be the only one giving them but will state what I can after meditation and prayer.

Gospel blessings this day to all! --Bob
