Is God Dealing With Us As A Group?

I have had this question on my mind for the last few days. With the numbers of people who have either been taking a break, slowing down their posting dramatically, or flat out leaving the forum, is it possible that the Lord is dealing with us as a group that we need to spend more time on something a bit more constructive than posting on an internet website? (I realize this is a long question. ) I'm just wondering because I have found myself feeling like it's time to give this a rest for awhile. It seems like there is a wave of changes going on right now in our posting family that is moving our membership away from posting so much. Could this be God? (Not asking to start any arguments, or speculation on another island, etc., etc., so don't go there!) What do you guys think?

Or is it a symptom of a greater pervasive problem that plagues the United States and is running rampant in the church? And could the devil be the author of such division?

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

I have had to take breaks from posting in the past for health reasons and I have left some forums for spiritual reasons. I don't feel God is dealing with me to leave this forum at all. I also don't feel the need for a break coming on. I just think some posters are getting burnt out.......
