First off let me say that this board is a great blessing! I have learned much from the many men and women of God that post and discuss here.

That said I guess that can also be somewhat intimidating. When i first arrived here I thought i knew more than i did. When i joined i was somewhat new to the reformed faith (about 1 year).

Along the way of learning I obviously ask questions or some come to mind but often times I need people to be understanding that i am still learning.

I guess from all that sprung an idea. What if you had a section on the board for those new or relatively new to the reformed faith? That way it might be more comfortable for people to make threads with questions that might be considered common knowledge. Not everyone has to venture there and it wont clutter up other areas of the main board.

Also within that area there could be some links or a threads with information that might help a beginner learn some of the terms and topics that they will find as they pursue their walk with God.

I feel as though my thoughts here aren't complete but I lost my train of thought.

I guess to sum it all up would be a section to minister those who are transitioning into the reformed faith. A place for good Godly discussion and Q&A before diving "into the deep end". A shallow swimming pool of sorts!

I hope this makes sense. I sometimes have difficulty with my wording!
I would be interested in a section like this. Though I was convicted of the main points of the Reformed faith for a few years, I honestly didn't know very much else. This would be very ideal for someone like me.
