  • 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.

Hey , I'm currently a college student at a pretty secular University. I come from a background of very strong Christians and a very strong community . When I first got to college I was hyped up and ready to strongly proclaim my faith, and this is what I did, I went to a couple parties sure, but would not dance with girls and would let them know why I did not do this. I was involved in bible studies and was ready to continue to pursue my relationship with God. I still struggled with lust and masturbation, but I would always get back up and used gods grace to proceed in knowing him. My pursuit of God was seen by a campus pastor and he asked that I become president of a christian organization and told me that my faith would grow even more from this.

Unfortunately , here I am, at the end of my sophomore year and things have gotten pretty distant. It begin with some events that were not so great in my life and I lost the ability to fight with energy. For weeks I have been telling my community and family that I have been experiencing spiritual fatigue in being that constant resistance o today's culture and do not know if I have the strength to keep standing out in such a secular campus. Recently I have not found the energy or the motivation to pursue my relationship with God. I know who he is but I feel that he expected too much of me, to be a sole leader at a campus that is desolate , and to resist the temptations of college life. Now I find myself struggling with lust and masturbation and I am constantly moving toward a direction of deciding to just go a party like my other peers. I just don't feel like I have the spiritual strength to continue to pursue God like i have been, yeah sure it'd be easy to be a lukewarm christian like everyone else, party in Saturday and go to church Sunday, But as far as honestly pursuing God I feel like I have lost the strength. I feel like I am exhausted and I am only 20 years old .
What is God doing , how do I regain energy and motivation. If anyone in college has had a similar experience please help me out thanks
