Christian Chat is a moderated online Christian community allowing Christians around the world to fellowship with each other in real time chat via webcam, voice, and text, with the Christian Chat app. You can also start or participate in a Bible-based discussion here in the Christian Chat Forums, where members can also share with each other their own videos, pictures, or favorite Christian music.
If you are a Christian and need encouragement and fellowship, we're here for you! If you are not a Christian but interested in knowing more about Jesus our Lord, you're also welcome! Want to know what the Bible says, and how you can apply it to your life? Join us!
To make new Christian friends now around the world, click here to join Christian Chat.
Haha, well I'm glad to hear God has already used me to be of service in expanding the vocabulary! 
Honestly, at present, I've been feeling "alone" not having true believers to connect, share, and grow with, and my desire to find that community has been burning, until God planted in my head to search for Christian chat groups, which is something I never would have thought of or pursued before. And here you all are!

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 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)

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.

I know the feeling, and your reasons for coming here are very similar to mine. I'm extremely cautious about the people with whom I will fellowship. As we know, not everyone who says to Jesus, "Lord, Lord ..." (Mt 7:21). There is also 1Co 5:9-13, where we are instructed not even to associate with someone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Paul doesn't even want us to share a meal with them!

Hello again SarahRachael, so you have no local church/body of believers, or even a Bible Study group nearby perhaps, that you can fellowship with regularly/personally?
I treasure this place as a Christian for a number of different reasons, but I think that I would find it impossible to live the Christian life w/o fellowship in the "real" world (so to speak) too.

I say this somewhat ashamedly, no, I haven't! It's something I've been longing for for years - any kind of community, friends that I can talk to about any and everything Christ-centred and Biblical, and I haven't found it. I'm an introvert (who can often socialize like an extrovert - depending who I'm around or my mood, haha), but for the most part, when it comes to going out into the community and just... walking into a church I've never been before, or attending a bible group at a church I've never been before where I don't know anyone, especially to do that solo, it's something SO incredibly out of my comfort zone (being honest!). So I've never done it! But here I am now in CC? It's a starting point, right?!
