God tells us to "encourage one another while it is still called ‘today’". TheFaithfulWord.org ministry is pleased to provide one possible mechanism to help foster that encouragement.

This opportunity to help build up the body of Christ is offered in the form of a Discussion Forum. The Forum functions much the same way as the internet newsgroups operate. One may choose to post a message on a new topic, allowing others to read and respond (which creates a new "thread" of postings). Or, one may choose to respond directly to a message previously posted.

Nearly two thousand years ago the city of Rome was founded around a tiny parcel of ground containing a small raised podium. This "forum" was used by the citizens of the town to gather and listen while one citizen-speaker after another offered a viewpoint, presented a proposal, asked a question, or simply encouraged his fellow Romans. Here is another small forum dedicated to Christian viewpoints, proposals, questions, and encouragement.

In more recent years Martin Luther invited debate between church officials and himself by posting his theses on the now famed Wittenberg Door. These theses were issues of doctrine and practice that were dear to his heart and conscience. Through the posting of the offer to dialogue, he began the church reformation movement for the good of the church. Please consider this a humble, if not entirely obscure, "Virtual Wittenberg Door".

Thank you.
