Welcome to Grow in Christ's (www.growinchrist.com) moderated online
forum. Grow in Christ is my personal Christian mission. Grow In Christ
exists to promote an understanding of Christianity and to aid
Christians and seekers of Christ in their spiritual growth.

It is my prayer that this forum will enhance Grow in Christ's mission.
Grow in Christ the website contains many Biblically-based articles
designed to help a person learn to grow in his or her walk with Christ.
It contains personal testimonies of how Jesus Christ has worked in and
through the lives of people. I even provide my e-mail address so that
people can ask questions, make comments, or provide suggestions.

This moderated forum adds one more facet to the site by opening the
door to multiple perspectives and insights regarding the Christian
faith. I certainly do not have all of the answers regarding the
Christian faith. I am looking forward to both the giving and the
receiving of ideas.

I am moderating this forum (rather than allowing all messages to be
posted) for two reasons: 1) I do not want petty disagreements, personal
assaults, vulgar language, and other non-Christian behaviors to
adversely impact the effectiveness of Grow in Christ in attempting to
achieve its mission. 2) I do not want people to be confused about Grow
in Christ's stance on certain issues regarding the Christian faith.
Still, dissenting views will not necessarily be eliminated from posting
consideration. It is good to be able to learn from one another.

In the next couple of months, my criterion for posting messages will
become more solidified. This is my first attempt at being a moderator
for an online group. It may take a little while to get the hang of it.
Thanks for your patience.

In Christian love,

Jim Rodenbeck
