Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
Over the coming weeks you are all going to see a lot of changes here at The End Times website and forum.. I’ve prayed long and hard and I think the Lord has finally provided me the answer to some dilemmas and new energy. He took His time, but His timing is always perfect. 
Active members will know I’ve discussed making some changes just due to the negativity we have on our board.. mainly. A lot of bashing going on, swearing and the like. Not to Christ like.. a reflection of the true nature of man - Thank God He Died for Us!..
From the beginning I’ve wanted to keep our forum an open format.. open to many different shades and variations of doctrine. Part of the reason I approached this forum this way is so those seeking Truth could confront and learn about other doctrines - to challenge them and strengthen their faith.
..and at the end of the day, I think we have accomplished that. I know myself and others have learned a lot in the years this forum has been around.
This format can serve as a place to research and learn about the Last Days from the perspective of others - as we explore our faith and prophecy.
..but sometimes this brings about conflict.. often actually. Because of what Christ charges us with, we want to defend our faiths.. especially if what we think we know is Truth and others are mislead. It’s a ‘real’ battle for Truth and souls.
That.. mixed with Christians that are simply negative in general and/or lack God given patience.
Long story short I wasn’t going to just shut everyone out and go to a ‘Statement of Faith’ format like a lot of forums have… but a month or so ago I thought I might go the direction of just opening an area of the current forum and set up special user groups that do meet what’s set forth in the ‘Statement of Faith’..
But the Lord gave me an even better answer..
I am going to open a sister forum on this same site. A place where we will require the ‘Statement of Faith’ to be acknowledged and understood - a Statement of Faith that is more mainstream and more in line with mine and others doctrinal views.
This new forum will be a sanctuary for those like-minded Christians to have real, uninterrupted discussions on the topics they desire related to the End Times..
My hope is there will be less arguments and less frustration.
I will be asking help from those that would like to be moderators in both forums. In our current forum I’m going to ask that moderators have less tolerance to keep the conversations as civil and Christian like as possible. And we will use tactics to patrol and moderate that we didn’t before.. (i.e., locking threads that get out of hand).
Listen… I don’t care if there are small arguments.. that’s normal and fine. No one’s perfect and sometimes arguments bring us answers and shed light on Truth. I’m talking about hard core bashing, calling fellow Christians names.. condemning etc..
We are are just completing our 3rd year since the launch of the ‘End Times Forum‘..
I’m confident if we all work together, pray together and come together, the next 3 years will be even better and will bless A LOT more people!
God Bless,
-Brother Matt
