• 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.

I'm not sure how to totally answer that question, but I do know that it's God's will that none shall perish, so it is God's will that your Grandpa be saved. Keep praying for him, don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen in your time or on your terms though, it will happen in God's time and on His terms. Sometimes I think we forget that when we pray.
On that note, God's answers to prayer tend to be yes, no, wait. But, we really don't like the no and wait answers, but He knows what's best. If we're praying for something against His will, the answer may well be a NO.

Well, I was just using my grandpa as an example, but yeah. I was just wondering what you guys thought about it. I know that God's will is best, but I just think that we limit our faith sometimes with it. I don't know, it's hard to explain.

Hmm... that is a tough one. wolfman did a great job answering it.

Here's how I would look at it (in conjunction with wolfman's response):

Do you have faith God can do things to soften your grandfather's heart, open his ears to hear God, and more?

Umm....Sometimes. I do now, but a lot of times I don't. Yes I do when I think about it, but other times I don't. Once again that's hard to explain.

I would like to encourage each of you to give thanks to God for the blessings he has given to you in your life. May you be abundantly blessed this day and be a blessing to others.

Thank you Spiritwinds! This is a great reminder. All to often I forget to thank God for things. I come to Him with things I need, but don't always thank Him for what He has already given me.

We all need encouragement to continue walking with the Lord in peace and in love for our fellow brothers and sisters. We need each other and we need to take care of one another. Remember those who are weaker than you and share what you have with those who are in need. May each of you be blessed and be a blessing to others.

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.

I have been trying to help them out practically, and have had a long chat with the dad (Phil). He just wants to talk about his wife - so I'm trying to give him a chance to do that without preaching at him at the moment!
It's sad the way the world reacts to things like this - when he turns up at school to collect his kids, everyone kind of looks embarrassed and no-one talks to him.
So I've been just trying to be there really.
I am praying God will give me a chance to witness more directly, but at the moment, all i feel able to do is be there.
The kids are coping - as they do.
But they really need your prayers at the moment.
Thanks for remembering them!

Bless you - I'm still praying for you too.

I'm so utterly sorry to hear how people are reacting. That is definitely one area that drives me bonkers. Out of all due respect, I'm sure it's because they are uneasy and scared of what to say and what not to say. It's still no excuse to not offer any condolences or see what help they could provide the family even if it's just thoughts and prayers.

Criada you are probably a huge blessing for this family. And I'm sure they will never forget what you have done for them-- particularly the father. I will continue to pray for all those involved.
