Bible Question (short): the SBF what can we do? |
Question (full): 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 |
