As the original site logo illustrates, the primary mission of PointOfView316
is to use internet technology as a conduit for shining the light of
heaven in a dark world.
The name PointOfView316 is a metaphor for seeing the world
through the point of view of God as it is summed up in John 3:16-17.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it."
The secondary mission of PointOfView316 is to bring together people of faith
and conscience around the globe and encourage and support each other as we
each try to be "bringers of light"*.
While, the site name is based on the Christian gospel message, PointOfView316 welcomes persons of all faiths, races, religions &
ethnic backgrounds who share a belief in peace, love and using the internet to improve society.

passage from “Conversations With God – Book II” by Neale Donald Walsch
You
may come home whenever you wish. We can be together again whenever you
want. The ecstasy of your union with Me is yours to know again. At the
drop of a hat. At the feel of the wind on your face. At the sound of a
cricket under the diamond skies on a summer night. At the first sight of
the rainbow, and the first cry of a newborn babe. At the last ray of a
spectacular sunset and the last breath in a spectacular life.
I
am with you always, even unto the end of time. Your union with Me is
complete – It always was, always is, and always will be.
You and I are One – both now and even forevermore.
Go
now, and make your life a statement of this truth.
Cause your days and nights to be reflections of the highest idea within
you. Allow your moments of Now to be filled with the spectacular ecstasy
of God made manifest through you. Do it through the expression of your
Love, eternal and unconditional, for all those whose lives you touch. Be
a light unto the darkness, and curse it not..
Be
a bringer of the light.
You
are that.
So
be it.
