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.

why does that surprise anyone...Jesus loves us all the way...He knows our needs...and all He wants is our love and our worship....by asking wwjd over every thing is worshipping Him and loving Him..and above all trusting Him...being willing to walk in complete faith and love for and in Him...Just lay down your life,your belongings, your families, your gifts and your ministries and live your life the way Jesus would live His...Gosh. Then I really think that genuinely comes under the category of miracle. You made a commitment to Him, and He absolutely stuck to His part of the bargain. How amazing. You went out on a limb of faith in a way, and He totally met you half way by giving you serenity.Jesus is so lovely.

Yes, this is all true, but it's never easy to do something like this. I'm not saying we shouldn't, only that it is no simple task.

I just found out on friday that my family and I will be moving to West Virginia NEXT WEEKEND. It wasn't just that I didn't know until now, it was that my parents didn't decide until then. There are reasons why I want to go, and there are reasons why I don't want to go. I do feal that God wants me to be there, and that's why I am accepting it with no hassle, but it isn't going to be easy.
I'll be honest with you all, The last time we lived in WV I hated it. It was mostly because I don't have any friends there. I know that it will still be hard, but I see some things that will be good about living there now.
Anyways, (I guess I went on a rant there) I ask you all to pray that I'll seek God's will and not my own. And that my family and I have a safe move. I have been able to seek His will and not get upset about moving, whereas a year ago I probably would have gotten very mad and not even cared that it might be God's will. Anyways, I'll appreciate any prayers said for me and my family.

Oh Eldaah I'm sorry to hear you'll be moving again. Do you mind me asking why your family moves so much? I can't say much... I'd move tomorrow, but that's simply because I'm not totally fond of the area we currently live in.
You know at least one good thing could come about from the move. Your parents want you to stay locally within the US for missions, and I know there's tons of mission work available in that state (our church goes there frequently). I don't know how close you will be to the areas, but maybe you'll have those opportunities.
Regardless, I'm definitely praying for you and your family!

Help.
Please pray,everyone.
I know what Jesus would do - He would cry.
Which I am doing.
An aquaintance of mine has died - leaving five young children - two of whom were recently adopted after having an appalling start in life.
She wasn't a christian.
I don't know what to do or say here.
I don't understand wht God could let this happen.
I know the "right" answers, I know it's not God's fault.
And I do trust Him, and I know He answers prayer, and He will look after those little ones.
But I just don't know what to do with the hurt.
I don't know what to say to her husband and the children.
How can I preach a gospel which says that thrir mother has died without God?
How can that bring any comfort?
Sorry - I didn't come here to rant.
Just - please ,pray.
Thank you.

Oh Criada how sorrowful. I can't offer any words of wisdom for you, but I will definitely say some prayers.
BUT... this could be the prime time (not exactly this second) to bring up salvation, faith and God with the family.

I'm grieving for this family. There's probably not much that can be said to these people to comfort them. I would certainly not point out the fact that they may not see their mother in heaven.
If I knew them and was near them, I would try to help in practical ways right now. Make meals and deliver them. Maybe find out their needs and organize a group of people who can help in this way. Offer to watch the children so the father can do what he needs to do... Things like this would be the most helpful. They may not even remember what you did for them when they start to emerge from their grief, but you will know that you did what you could do. And, I'm sure it will please God as well.
I will keep this family in my prayers. And also that the Lord will guide you in how you can be most helpful to them.
