Hello, friends,
I am writing to sincerely apologize for my unfruitful behavior in the forums recently. Over the past few months, I have been struggling with anger while coming out of sin and alcoholism—battles that have, at times, brought out remnants of my "old man." Unfortunately, this led me to act unkindly and without charity toward those I disagreed with. Too often, I found myself jumping into theological debates with a combative spirit, posting harsh comments, and misusing this platform in ways that were neither edifying nor Christlike. As a result, I was rightly banned.
By God's grace, Jason and the staff at Logos have given me a second chance, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to grow in humility and reflect Christ better—even when I strongly disagree with others.
I want to sincerely apologize to anyone who was affected by my past behavior. I deeply regret any offense or harm my words may have caused.
Moving forward, I am committing to a simple rule: before I click "send," I will reread my post and ask myself, Does this glorify the Lord? Is it edifying to the person I am engaging with?
On a side note, I recently reached four months of sobriety from alcohol—praise God!
Thank you for allowing me to be part of this community again.
James Johnson.
