The Settlers' Village

Welcome! The Settlers' Village is the social hub of A Better Country, so be ready for alarmingly wide-ranging conversations! If you do not yourself hold to a "Reformed" understanding of Christ and his church, please respect the fact that most in this community do. This is a place for discussion rather than aggressive debate.

The Apostle Paul might have made a very good Christian forum webmaster. He wrote to the church at Ephesus, 'Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.' Ephesians 4:29-32 (niv)

Until someone comes up with a better set of guidelines (which is unlikely), the Bible's will have to do. Enjoy your visit.
