    Does God count marriage if it didn’t happen in a church?

    Personally I would avoid like the plague - they are still married in the eyes of the law and biblically, and should be either striving to be reconciled with their spouse or carrying out the divorce. Both requires them to heal before jumping into another relationship. The fact that they would be...

    What was it like for you to speak in tongues

    Like you I came from a Baptist background and had to learn about the gifts of the Holy Spirit from the ground up when I joined my local Charismatic church. I had struggled with the need and purpose of tongues and so felt awkward when at church, watching other people so easily drop in and out of...

    Feeling guilty and rather overwhelmed by the conflict in Israel

    Hi brother and so good to see familiar faces in this post as well. Blessings to all of you. :wave: I re-read your thread in the Spirit Filled section of CF and came across this one here. What I wondered when I re-read your dream was what was going on in your personal life back in 2014 (no need...

    Is Christianity on the increase?

    On a local level I've definitely seen an increase. Our local fellowship has grown a lot since 2020. People are thirsty for truth.

    Asbury Revival

    I no longer have a tv but heard about this via our Pastor who mentioned it at church yesterday. As mentioned earlier I was on CF when Todd Bentley's services were going on, so I guess I am prayerfully but cautiously watching the developments as they unfold

    At least 146 dead, 150 injured in Halloween stampede in Seoul - Urgent Prayers

    Although I live in the UK and am not Korean, I can't quite put into words the grief I'm currently feeling for the victims and all families affected by this. Have listed this in the Christian only section due to the request to us as believers to pray especially due to the significance of this...

    Only a Muslim and a Non believer.....

    Thanks Reborn and thank you for your prayers. I'm on day 10 of covid now and it looks like things are finally turning even though I have to 'take 5' after doing small things like my son's school clothes ironing. I'm still not well enough to sit down with someone at church alas but I will. I...

    Only a Muslim and a Non believer.....

    Totally hear you J2K - those who are 'picked out' or celebrated each Sunday are the young families with elementary school age kids, married couples etc. Sometimes it feels like the same deal different building. CF has always and will always be my online spiritual fellowship home. My dd is...

    Only a Muslim and a Non believer.....

    Hi Turkle - this blessed me as it was what came back to me that night when I tearfully took it to the Lord. Your post was almost like confirmation of what was placed on my heart. I'd thought about asking to set up cooking ready fresh meals and storing them in the church freezer. That way if any...

    Only a Muslim and a Non believer.....

    Hi Maria :wave: Yes, so when we submit a prayer request it gets sent out to the prayer line so every member gets it including the person who submitted the request.

    Only a Muslim and a Non believer.....

    Thank you so much Tim and also the link to the website. I think I am going to see if I can have a chat with someone as soon as I am better. Even if it means setting up some kind of accountability buddy network. I've noticed quite a number of women who, like me, attend each week - and who, like...

    Only a Muslim and a Non believer.....

    Hi Neogaia And I thought it was just the UK! When I read the book of Acts I see such a relationship linked community who would all chime in and help each other/equip and encourage each other so that we could go about the Father's business to the lost. Thank you so much for your prayers :hug:

    Only a Muslim and a Non believer.....

    Thanks Clint - I will I meant to add, I did wonder about the success of the chat though as this hasn't been an isolated incident. Earlier this year my mother nearly died of a heart attack. Whilst she was recovering I again juggled work with looking after her. I'd sought help from church in...

    Only a Muslim and a Non believer.....

    Hi CF family - I'm a little emotionally raw now as I am currently still recovering from covid. But thought I would post this as it is troubling me. For those of you who are familiar with my profile, I've been on CF since 2003 and this site has been the closest to what a community of believers...

    End of life for Chromebook OS - any do-able alternatives

    Hi all For those of us with Chromebooks we're fast approaching the OS's end of life come June 2022. I am struggling to find an easy way to install an alternative OS to Google's Chromium similar to what I was able to do when my Win 7 laptop was changed over to Neverware's Cloud Ready (who has...

    Metaverse/Facebook Meta and Implications for Parents

    Thank you Royal Priest :thumbsup: This is one of my 'trains of thought' as well. Who is coding the algorithms/training the A.I.? Have they got any believers involved in this, at this stage of development? Will these virtual environments have room for people of faith (or will it be locked out or...
