INTRODUCTION

The Internet has forever opened doors and windows on whole new vistas of communication. This is truly the World Wide Web. From your computer you can contact people all over the world 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

The best way to understand forums is to just explore them. Take some time to click on the following links. Read many posting on various sites. Sign up and contribute as God guides you.

This is just a hint of what the future holds. Forums are like blogs because they let anyone say anything about any subject. Those who write do not need to refer to the Bible, a book or an expert. This is wide open. Into this new frontier the gospel can go forth and so can the lies of the cults.

Many church members tend to forget that there vast areas of this planet where a person could not attend a Bible believing church without needing to commute hundreds or thousands of miles. Yet everyday more people are gaining access to the Internet for school, employment, shopping, entertainment, etc.

There are seeking teens that are asking deep questions on these forums. The quality of the answers ranges from terrible to excellent. See for yourself where the youth are learning about God, Jesus and the Bible.

Here are places to have fellowship with real people that are believers and unbelievers. It may take a while to get used to the media, pace, lingo and attitudes. But note that in past generations people wrote letters, had pen pals and discussed hot topics in the public square.
