Significant Additions to our Moderator Team

I am pleased to announce the addition of seven new moderators that have joined the ranks of helping us Moderate this board. They are:

Rev. Lane Keister (greenbaggins)
Rev. Daniel Kok (Poimen)
Dennis McFadden (DMcFadden)
Todd Pedlar (toddpedlar)
Chris Poe (Pilgrim)
Rev. Matthew Winzer (armourbearer)
Ruben Zartman (py3ak)

I'm starting to feel like the heel on this Admin/Mod team. I am indeed privileged to add them to the team that helps set the tone within the threads and keeps this board on the tracks of Confessional Reformed theology. Please welcome them.

Why so many additions? In short, we're growing rapidly. We've recently started getting as many as four new applicants per day. The board's membership has almost doubled in the last year and a half and the number of regular visitors has shot up. By my reckoning, our traffic is now increasing at a rate of 10% per month. We're getting in front of the bow wave with some men whose hearts I am knit to because we share a common Confession in our risen Savior.

Welcome aboard gentlemen and thank you all for helping make this board what it is.

Our own Bawb contributed this:

The Magnificent Seven sit high in the saddle, their steely eyes taking in each and every weapon; only seven, but they'll fight like seven hundred.

Congratulations to all the new moderators.



To the OP: I've noticed the spelling change on the handle "Fidelis" (v. Fideles). Latin gramattical point? Did I miss the relevant thread?

Personally I would never join a church that would have me as a member.

It's the way the Marine Motto is. I recently figured out I had been mis-spelling.

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).
