• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him,and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 I don't understand what God is doing. It feels as if he's stripping every good thing from my life and leaving me hanging. It doesn't...

I failed to get yet another job. I'm trying so hard not to fall into despair about this. I trust God to provide, I really do. But my parents are not. With every lost job opportunity, they get more upset with me, acting as if I'm purposely doing this. Why can't they just trust? Why can't they be...

“Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” Psalms 37:5 This post is kind of a follow up on my last one. If God puts us through trials and tests, then my current test seems to be about trust. I am a controller. I need to have absolute control over every...

"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." James 1:12 Do you ever feel like you're trapped in a never-ending cycle of the same kinds of suffering and challenges? I...

James 5:16 says "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." So here I am, confessing my sins. This week has brought out the worst in me again. I've been under a lot of emotional...

There's a quote from R. Zaccharias that says, "Sin will take you further than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay and cost you more than you want to pay." I first heard my pastor say this during a sermon and it struck me particularly hard because it's true. I first got into...

Does it ever feel like you're just talking to your ceiling? Even though I know God is always there, sometimes it's as if he isn't listening to me. Or he's just looking down on me, unresponsive. Sometimes his silence is infuriating; why does he leave me when I'm in so much pain? It's a hard...
