Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines

Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.

We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

  • Taking A Break This Week At Least

    Please keep us in your prayers.

    Folks. This week I am taking a break to catch up on some reading and also so I can spend more time on something more important.

    Last week, I think on Sunday, I came home and had been told that my Dad had a stomach bug. One night, I remember also waking up in the night to hear him throwing up and asking my Mom for help. Wednesday, things weren’t getting better so he went to the doctor again. I got a call that afternoon that he was going to the hospital for possible surgery. I canceled my physical therapy that week for sciatica to be with him and my mother, the latter of whom I went out and got something to eat. My Dad had a successful surgery to help start dealing with a bowel blockage, but they found he had an irregular heartbeat. They are keeping him there longer.

    However, he has so much medication that he is not in his right mind. When I saw him on Saturday before work, he thought I was his cousin for awhile and then thought I might be an angel. He asked once about his sister who only lived a day and asked if his Dad was coming by to see him, despite his dad dying 39 years ago. Somehow, I have been the only one I think able to get through to him at times.

    I am hearing reports that he is doing better. If he can get his stomach cleaned out good, they can deal with an infection in there and then they can work on his heartbeat. My parents don’t have a lot of income so if there are financial needs, I am highly considering a GiveSendGo for them.

    On top of all of this, I am involved in a major stressful situation at my workplace involving my sciatica and a manager who doesn’t like the fact that sometimes I am in so much pain that I have to lean or sit for a little bit and sit especially as that provides the best relief.

    So this week, I will be breaking. I will be doing some reading of Kapr in the meantime and hopefully some other books as well so that there will be more to write about. Please be praying for me and my Dad and for my Mom as well and if you need to know more about what’s going on, just send me a message.

    In Christ,

      Lord, have mercy.
      Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

        I honestly thought he would be there much longer but no, he came home today. I hope it wasn't too soon. Told me if they hadn't caught the infection when they did, it would have killed him.
