Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Every time that you get attacked, remember whose side you're on. You are here because you're not a victim. You are here because you've been persecuted by evil people of all walks of life. You are here because you decided to wake up and put on the armor of God. You are here because you have loved ones that you want to protect and you want the best and clearest sources of information. The battlefield is now digital, because they want our minds and our souls corrupted. If they can control those, they can make you do anything. But only God can deliver us from that, with the aid of the holy spirit within all of us.
The enemy has to look in the mirror and face judgment someday. That is not our problem. Our job is to help Jesus save as many souls as we possibly can before our times are up. If somebody does not want to come to the faith on our account, our job is to give that to God, because we did what we could. Our job is to forgive those who have wronged us. And to pray for enemies to turn around, repent, and do the right thing. I think a lot of what we lack as a whole is forgiveness. The enemy cannot stop us from that. The enemy can also not take away our God from our hearts. They don't want you to believe that, because they want to control you. That is it. They count on us to be bitter and to hold on to our grievances and to destroy ourselves from the inside out. They want as much infighting as possible, so that we're distracted and not over the target.
They mean their evil deeds for evil, but only God can use it for good.
We paint ourselves with the blood of Jesus to receive eternal life and just go home someday. By doing what is right in God's eyes, we are His vessels for witness, that Jesus died for our sins, and will save all of us who believe. We all have our different days where we're called to come back to our Father. Keep waking up with your purpose, whatever God has called for you to do. Don't give up because we're on His time.
For some reason, I felt called to post this, and I hope this helps somebody. I am still searching for my purpose, but the easiest way to find it is to engage with the word of God and do the next right thing.
TL; DR Stay focused on the mission. And you can do it.
