• 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've been happily married for 2 years and even have a baby, but my mother and my husband have never seen eye to eye.

The other day I was speaking on the phone with my mum and she told me that when my husband and I first met, she prayed to God about why they weren't getting along, and He told her that He didn't know my husband.

Does God not know everyone? Or is my mother hearing from something else?

God only responds that "He has it covered."
God never prophesies any details, or bad-mouths people.
Just imagine God telling you your favorite team would win the SuperBowl
and that the other team sucks. What would He tell the other team?

There is a difference between casually knowing someone and having a deep personal relationship.

In Matthew, our Lord used these chilling words: "Depart from me, ... I never knew you." (Matt 7.23)

It is the deep personal knowing and not just the casual acquaintance HE is talking about here.

The Lord knows everyone.
