May God bless this region. In the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Galaad and Couch Empire
Welcome 
Couch Empire and congratulations as this region’s Archdeacon! The title can be changed, I just thought it had a good sound to it, seemed to be a good title for authority, the title Archdeacon is something I picked up when I was in the Anglican Church.
Post self-deleted by Melanchthon.
Oh yes work on it as you please. I hope to do some as well later, definitely want this region not only to be orthodox (straight teaching) in theology but evangelical (Gospel centered and driven) in nature. So definitely anything relating to that is I think a big part of our mode of operation.
Couch Empire feel free to even expand, edit or change the text I added introducing the region, just put it as a place holder but of course anything there would reflect that same idea.
Couch Empire I was thinking of designing a regional flag, something like a blue banner with a sliver shape representing the Ten Commandments in the middle with a deep red Cross in the center of that, what do you think?
Couch Empire great work on the regional banner!
Thank you for your work! I am going to set the flag now let me know what you think when you can! God bless you too and Amen praise be to the Lord! Soli Deo Gloria
Glorious things of Thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God!
He whose Word can ne’er be broken,
Formed thee for His own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
’Round her habitation hov’ring,
See the cloud and fire appear,
For a glory and a cov’ring,
Showing that the Lord is near.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou may'st smile at all thy foes.

I introduce the regional flag of the Followers of the Word of God, the border represents the New Jerusalem, the City we are looking forward to; built not by human hands (Revelation 21:16, Hebrews 11:10) light blue in refence to the cloud that guided God's People in the Old Testament (Exodus 13:21) The dark blue banner represents our call to live as God's Holy people, obeying His Commandments and forsaking our own desires (Numbers 15:38-39) The middle symbol represents the Word of God in its chief message of Law and Gospel, the silver colored stone tablets reprenet the Ten Commandments and that God refines His people like silver (Exodus 20, Psalm 66:10) and the deep red cross represents the Gospel; how our Lord died on the cross, the only payment for our sins, spilling His own precious and sufficient blood (Mathew 27, Hebrews 9:15-22). Soli Deo Gloria.
Thank you! I was just about to look for this today! Hope to put it into good use for the design of our region!
Silver Creek and Melanchthon
oh it’s ok I was just playing around with it,,
feel free to edit and add as you please, of course there still more work to be done we are only two at this point after all
I was definitely wondering and holding back on what resources we should have in regional world fact books, like perhaps links to the Bible and or trusted biblical theology website resources of something like that, I was even thinking about writing and including a Gospel message one too, what do you think?
Couch Empire another thing I was wondering is that what kind of embassies should we have and what do you think of the ones I accepted, of course we’d want conservative Christian ones but there was one or two politically conservative ones there too I know they would be Christians there too possibly. This is always a question with regions, how many embassies, with who and why.
Which leads to questions on how ecumenical should we be? Obviously as we’ve seen there are limits to that, but our level of ecumenicalism would inform the resources we may post, the look of our region and perhaps even the embassies we have.
Of course a strict isolationist approach isn’t the most appropriate given this regions goal, but measure should be taken to both protect our regions message and to further it to the greatest extent possible, with God’s help.
Melanchthon Firstly hello I hope you are doing well. As for the fact book definitely a Bible link and then maybe a thing on why this region exists. And then as for the embassies I suppose that conservative regions and definitely the Christian ones would be good but I also strongly believe that we are called to be disciples so we should reach out and if there hearts are hard we pray for them and remove the embassies if not then we answer there questions and preach.
Silver Creek and Melanchthon
Amen. so embassies as many as we can get?
If so I am not opposed.
“Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”
Psalm 2:10-12
God guide us in this way. Oh Christ may we give you our kiss of allegiance, reverence and undying fidelity. Oh God we ascribe to you the glory due your Name. Rid us of all sin and wickedness, wash us and we will be clean, pour into our hearts the fire of the Holy Spirit. Give us your desires please Lord God. May you be praised forever. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Couch Empire I’ve had a couple of people ask about discord and if we have a server, what do you think about that, should we make one? I’ve made one before.
Ok I’ll look into creating one in a bit.
