Hi! I'm Sarah, and tbh, I'm completely new to all of this (group chats, etc). I became born again in 2012, and aside from conversing with my family and considering online churches my family (without any actual interaction), I've never been a space where I can connect and converse with like-minded, like-spirited fellow Christians. It's really refreshing, and I could use any help and encouragement along the way! :)

Hi Sarah,

Welcome to a site with caring Christians and lively debate. I've already learned something new from you, as I had to do a Google search for the meaning of "tbh."

To be honest, I believe you will find what you are seeking here. What type of help do you desire at present?

It is encouraging to me to know that God chose us to be a part of His kingdom (Eph 1:3-10).

Welcome to CC Forums, my much beloved sister Sarah!:) I am so happy to have found another sister who is strong in the love of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Please forgive me if I seem to be very wordy here, but you are such a breath of fresh air in a strange land that is quickly becoming engulfed in darkness. I do indeed want to be a hope and encouragement to you. Your post is a great encouragement to me. Bless you and thank you.:)

Hi sis Sarah,
Welcome to Christian Chat.
And you got such significant bible name. I will encourage to hold tight to the hand of our Lord and Saviour.

There is no better decision that you have made to follow in the footsteps of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The days we live in are evil and it is our mandate to love each other as we love ourselves. And love is not selfish, nor seeks its own.

May you trust God's love more fully and my prayer is that you be rooted and grounded in love.

Hi SarahRachael, welcome to CChat :) I'm glad you found us, and thank you for telling us a little bit about yourself!

God bless you! (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)

~Deut
p.s. - I saw that your favorite Bible passage is Proverbs 3:5-6, so I thought you might enjoy this quote and linked message below it from Pastor Chuck Swindoll, since both are based upon that passage from Proverbs. Dr. Swindoll is also the Chancellor of Dallas Theological Seminary, which is where he gave the sermon (I believe as part of their commencement a few years ago). It's a fairly short excerpt from his sermon, just FYI.

Hello and Welcome to C.Chat 😃!
I believe you have taken the first step in that direction your own, just by signing up. You will find a great many personalities here. Just feel free to cruise about the different threads, as you feel lead to go into them.
If you find someone you want to chat with and want to let them know you are trying to reach them, you can use the @IFOLLOWHIM or whatever the name is of the person you want to chat with is with the @ symbol in front of it. This will flag them to the thread you are trying to reach them in. There is a general chat thread call The Chat Thread that is good for just general chat. Otherwise, if you have the paid version of C.Chat then you can send them out of thread messages just to them or a group of people at the same time and you can all chat that way. There is debate threads, thought provoking threads and just fun ones like the Random threads that are just to have some good. clean fun. Hope this helps and hope to chat with you around the threads sometime!😃
