1 | the SBF what can we do? | John 17:17 | justme | 242276 | ||
Study Bible Forum Members: I have a very serious concern for our forum. Over the years I have noticed the activity of the SBF dwindling down with very little activity. I have wondered why so many of those who were once very active are seldom posting any longer. I hope you too have pondered the same question. I have tried to think of ways that I can stimulate activity on the SBF. I came to a few points that I have noticed what might help. Sometimes we forget to welcome new visitors to the forum. At times we are quick to refer visitors to the SEARCH box rather than giving a personal response. I think this is less welcoming and a little lazy, the quick way out. I seldom refer to the SEARCH box. How often do we open a dialogue to some really hot topic listed some place we visited. The Christian Post is a good place to find some hot topics. Maybe bring up some issue with your denomination, or other religion. I feel we have a golden opportunity here to at least open the door for someone to question their self about their eternal destination. I watch WRETCHED on NRB tv at night. Then there is WAY OF THE MASTER with Ray Comfort that is a dymanic evangelist that teaches open street preaching that I have learned a lot from. this would be an interesting topic to dialogue as well. I find more information to talk about there. Lockman has been very kind to allow this forum to continue, and I sincerely feel they would be pleased to see more activity here. I wish we could have a space for prayer requests as well. I once belonged to a Christian forum that allowed all kinds of junk with restrictions only on people who were more fundamental in their theology. I was kicked off and that was very upsetting to me. We have guidelines and they are for the most part quite open to most. If anyone wants to email me go to my user info and I would be pleased to hear from you. I know I am an old fashion man, I turn 70 this month, but I want to think young and open. I would love to see the SBF become a beehive of activity. justme |

2 | the SBF what can we do? | John 17:17 | EdB | 242284 | ||
I have brought this situation to Lockman's (Lockman Foundation the owner of this forum) attention in the past, I have offered various suggestions, however Lockman seems content with the existing situation. When the SBF was first started I believe it was a tremendous vehicle to make people aware of the work of the Lockman Foundation and their products. But most importantly it opened the truth of Jesus Christ to people that were unaware of that truth. I know of many Godly, faithful and very scholarly men and women that shared their passion and their love of God on this forum that have left, many feeling disrespected and made to feel unwelcomed. I would say the ball is now in Lockman's court and they need to either let the SBF to continue to experience the decline you talk of or they can step up and make the needed changes that are required. I too love the SBF and believe it has a huge potential to make a difference for Christ, but for that to occur, changes need to be made. |

ED" Amen and Amen. Let us pray that there is an awakening is those who once were here and those presently active in the SBF. Pray that there will be a sensitivity within all those involved to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Lockman may well own this SBF but it is really the Lords. Let each of us welcome each other with brotherly love and visitors with a genuine kindness, and openness that Jesus Christ would do. justme |
