We
here at Servant Chat were called by God to share the Gospel with as
many people as possible. Jesus himself told the disciples - and we believe
this applies to all Christians today - to go into the world and preach the
Good News (Luke 16:5). This Gospel, or Good News, is summed up in John 3:16
when Jesus tells us that God loves the whole world and that those who believe
in his Son, Jesus Christ, will have eternal life. We are here to be a witness
to both believers and non-believers who are searching for answers about this
truth. This site was started by seven Christians who were
searching for a better way in which to communicate the love of Christ and to
help our fellow man. Whether that help is in the form of answering the
questions asked by non-believers (2 Timothy 4:2) or teaching and uplifting our
brothers and sisters in Christ (2 Timothy 3:16,17), we are here to serve all
who enter our chat site. We aren't here to convince other believers that our
doctrine is the only truth, for we can only be led to that truth by the
guidance of the Holy Spirit (John 16:13). Nor are we here to be "Bible
thumpers" attempting to force our beliefs on those who aren't Christians. We
are here to uplift the name of Jesus Christ and to do as he commanded the
disciples to do - to pray for the sick (James 5:15) and to help the afflicted
and broken-hearted. Our chat was created as a place for people to chat,
make friends, and to learn about the love of Christ and how we should love one
another. We believe that a free flow of ideas is important to understanding
one another. Our goals can be achieved by providing an atmosphere in which all
chatters feel welcome to discuss any topic. Topics and behaviors are only
limited by the rules found within our
Terms of Service (TOS). In
order to achieve our goals, Servants - similar to other sites' room moderators
- volunteer their time to gently guide chatters to remain within the bounds of
the TOS. We follow the example provided by our Lord, Jesus Christ, who came to
serve man (Mark 10:45). By the standards set in the passages of Mark 10:35-45,
we do not serve to gain recognition, money, or power. With that stated, we may
still have to ban certain chatters in order to keep this site on track to
accomplish the mission set forth. In summary, the mission of our chat ministry is to
worship the Lord, evangelize the lost, disciple the saints, encourage the
brethren through fellowship, and minister to all of those in need.
