"Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers....But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness." II Timothy 2:14 & 16
Just some thoughts to take to heart. Please remember that the main purpose of the Chicago CHARGE message board is to: Discuses speech and debate related topics to the NCFCA and Chicago CHARGE. It's primary purpose is to fulfill certain tasks for CLUB use. Wether that's learning debate, posting evidence, getting ideas for speeches or asking questions of club leaders, that is the main purpose of this Chicago CHARGE message board.
Naturally, we want and encourage the enjoyment of fellowship with each other and the making of great friendships. That is why we have the Lounge here. So we can in a sense kick back relax and stop thinking about school, speech, debate, and the rest... this place is the "fun section" if you will.
However, when the "fun section" begins to dominate the boards usage, we run into problems. This section is not meant to be a distraction from serious "club stuff". The serious CHARGE related club parts are the main priority here. Just like speech and debate are extra-curricular activities. Main school work should take priority in your academics.
Above all, God needs to be the priority in our lives. If something else is getting in the way of your commitment to Him--you need to reset your priorities.
"This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint on you, but to promote wht is appropriate and to secure UNDISTRACTED devotion to the Lord." (I Corinthians 7:35) ;D
His Servant,
