Dear Friends,

As you know the Puritanboard has changed hands in certain instances pertaining to ownership. Up until today, I was the sole owner of the board. However, to keep a perspective that encompasses more than one view in terms of "what's good for the board", and for the exemplary conduct and help that Rich has given as a result of not only moderating on the board, but being the "webmaster par excellance" of the board, I've invited him to be a co-owner of the board. He has put so much into the board overall, that having him as a co-owner is a blessing in and of itself.

Rich, thanks for all your help, and I hope that in future years Christ will be glorified by your continued excellence in both decisions surrounding the board, as well as all those great "upgrades" we keep seeing. All these things continue to make the Puritanboard "the Reformed" chatboard on the net, and someplace that is glorifying to God.

Blessings! :amen:
 
:think: This may mean that if the draft is reinstitued we may have to become Marines. Good thing I'm too old! :D

Congrats, Rich!

Wait a Minute... Since when do Presbyterians say "AMEN"... I have yet been to a Presbyterian service where I hear Amen from the congregation, even during the sermon..... :rofl:

I keep wanting to say it during a good point of a sermon but I bite my tongue knowing that nobody else does it and it would seem out of place since no one is use to it.... :rofl:

:p

I know this sounds kind of corny guys but I got kind of emotional over your excitement. It really means a lot to me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I'm reminded daily of the sin left to kill in my heart and sometimes that sin comes crashing like a wave over this board. I often wonder the kind of impression I leave with others and whether I bring open reproach upon the name of my Savior.

There are first class theologians here whose intelligence and scholarship outstip mine by miles. There are men and women here whose piety and kindness put me to shame for not hating my sin more.

I want to thank Dr. McMahon for co-founding this board with Scott Bushey (who is sadly no longer with us over which I still grieve). My current Pastor (PastorFaulk) actually summed up what makes this board so special in a recent post expressing his dual frustration and thankfulness at how punctilious we are with regard to doctrine. Unfortunately, these days, most people believe that care leads to dead souls. My experience as a Christian teaches me that, far too often, it's careless Christianity that leads to smiling faces that will kill you with kindness and it takes somebody who really believes in Hell and Christ's only sacrifice to spell things out for you to draw the lines clearly in love.

I've never understood how people who love the Gospel can be bored by its discussion or bored by devouring every morsel of food that comes out of the Scriptures. I'm grateful to share that with you here.

Finally, I count myself incredibly blessed to have been knit together in spirit to Brothers and Sisters in Christ I have never met and even more so to have met some. It's always nice to know that, practically ever major city I visit, I could find somebody there who frequents and participates in this board whose character has already been vetted and whose soul I'm already knit to in Christ.

Thank you again for those kinds words.

In Christ's Love,

Rich
