Online! | New SermonIndex Moderator | | I am happy to announce that there is a new SermonIndex moderator:
Giancarlo (Forevidence) https://www.sermonindex.net/userinfo.php?uid=5739
If people are wondering Moderators are users of the site that have been prayerfully led and at times asked to participate in more of a leadership role in praying for this ministry and myself and also making decisions towards how to handle situations on the forums. The moderator has the right to delete and edit posts in problematic situations. It is asked that people on the forums adhere to the advice of an moderator when asked.
Also moderators are users of this site also that are blessed by it and love to post things that have touched their heart.
Glad to have you participating in this ministry Giancarlo. _________________ SI Moderator - Greg Gordon

| Re: New SermonIndex Moderator | | great, awesome!
But a small question, how did he become a moderator? Is it because God told you? Just wondering, it's cool there is one moderator more when SI is growing, but i'm curious to how this was decided [smile]
[b]Giancarlo[/b]
congrats bro and be very blessed so you can be a blessing to others! [smile] _________________ William

Online! | Re: | | It wasn't as mystical as his name appearing on the wall in handwriting but as I have been talking with this brother over the last month it has crossed my mind that he needs to be more involved with this ministry.
If someone is really desiring to be a moderator and can spend the time being on the site alot then they can let me know and I can pray about it. _________________ SI Moderator - Greg Gordon

| Re: | | Thanks you guys for the encouragement in this endeavor. I pray that God would use me for His glory and that this decision of making me a moderator would not be using His grace in vain.
I now this is a big resposibility but with the help of God I will be able to serve you brothers and sisters well.
I am humbled by the request to moderate hear at sermonindex. Especially since i haven't been here as long as everybody else has. But Lord willing God will use that for His Glory
As pointed out already I live in California in the City of Riverside. I went to the bible college that Greg Recently attended and graduated from there, I have a AA in Theology(not that means anything). I have recently began working for Ray Comfort at Living Waters. It is an awesome privilege to a part in both ministries. I have carefully both ministries and their message and I now they deeply impacted my spiritual walk.
I have given my life to pursuit of God and the restoration of His glory in these last days. In a revival of His church to prepare it for coming marriage with her Savior. These two things are my main spiritual goals.
As how I came to that it is too long of a story to tell here, but I will give a bit of my testimony. I used to be atheist... but now God has now made this fool see the truth and I owe God my whole life. I have been a Christian for six years now and It has been awesome to see what God has been able to do with a worthless man like me. _________________ Giancarlo
