Hey Members,

I just posted the first Teen-Fortress.com Bible Reading Plan. I know that many Christians today (especially young ones) don't spend enough time reading God's Word. This is a HUGE problem, because as the the Bible says, God's Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our paths(Ps. 119:11). And without that light, how will we know where to go?

I've noticed that one good way to combat this insufficient Bible Reading, is to use Bible Reading plans. That's why I've posted a Bible Reading plan in the Members' Lounge. Every member who would like to, can take part in this Bible Reading plan. I'll post dates on the newly updated Calendar in the Lounge so that we can read together. That way, we can discuss the passages that we're reading in the "Bible Reading Plan" Topic in the Forums.

To start, I've chosen the book of Ecclesiastes. I was reading some of it myself, and I see that it's a very interesting book that, in my opinion, seems good for discussion. It's also not very long, which is why the period I hope for us to finish it in is just  20 days. I'm sure it won't be hard for anyone to keep up with this plan because kept the daily passages short. 

I'm studying this book in depth right now so that when we read it together, I'll be able to answer as many of your questions as accurately  as possible.

Lemme know what you guys think of these new updates in the comments section below.

Bye! God bless!

Hey Members!

I think by now most of you had already tested your Bible knowledge  with the previous Bible Quiz: "Who am I?". That's why I thought it was about time for a new Bible Quiz.

But something I, and I'm sure a lot of you guys, have noticed is that every year at Christmas time, they world seems to be focusing more and more on getting material things and on Santa Claus and less and less on Jesus Christ, the one whose birthday we're supposed to be celebrating.

Just imagine how lame it must make Jesus feel when on the day that we say is a day to celebrate His birth, God's gift to us, we focus on getting, getting, getting. And when we do get what we wanted, we thank Santa as if he had anything at all to do with it.

This Christmas, let's focus on thanking God for sending His Son to this earth to give us all a chance at eternal life. Let's follow His example and be willing to give to others without expecting anything in return. 

And while you're giving gifts to those around you, don't forget to give something to the Birthday Boy!

Check out the Bible Quiz page to take the Bible Quiz: Christmas Edition. Read the Bible passages about Jesus' birth and take the quiz to freshen up your knowledge on the story of Jesus' birth.

Heads up!

Check back here on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day for the Christmas Arcade! I'll post some of my favorite online games on those days for any members or visitors to enjoy.

I'm sure it's gonna be fun!

See you guys later!

Have a Merry Christmas!

Mood: Excited!

Hey all!

MK is just so excited right now! Wondering why? It's because...

For several weeks I've been looking for a suitable chatroom that I could embed here at the site so that members could chat easily with other members. 

As some of you know I joined Facebook some weeks ago. On Facebook, there's this really cool chat application that allows Facebook friends to chat with each other anywhere on Facebook from this toolbar that shows up at the bottom of every browser's window.

You might have noticed a similar toolbar here at Teen-Fortress.com.

The thing is, when I saw and used that awesome chat application at Facebook.com, I realized that that would be an ideal chatroom solution for Teen-Fortress.com. 

Today, weeks later, God led me to a certain video. I wasn't initially going to pay any attention to it, but for some reason I watched it anyway. On the video I saw a preview of almost the exact same toolbar-chatroom application.

Through that video, I was able to get that same application onto Teen-Fortress.com! YAY!

God is great!

I hope you guys like this new feature. I love it, personally. I hope it'll make it much easy for us to catch each other for a chat more often.

I gotta go now, though. Homework! Maybe I'll stay online while I do my homework though.

Bye! God bless you!
