• 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.

Does anyone feel like they struggle before an event that Jesus uses them for?

Noticed that when i feel like i'm struggling it will be right before Jesus really uses me to encourage someone or help someone. Not always does this happen but sometimes it does. Anyone else experience this?

Yes, that is common as is a let down or sadness afterward for the truly called of God. They are also subject to more attack from the Enemy.

@SeventhFisherofMen @J Mick if it is any consolation you both are used by God in my life. I watch both of your posts on CF and what I see is two young men who love the Lord and try to encourage others to do the same. I think that is wonderful! And yes the hounds of hell are always trying to beat me down. Please pray for me and I will pray for you also!

what doesn't?
it's sin to murder unborn children? Should I not warn those who promote such an action?
I've only been involved in one pro life event but would gladly get involved in many more?
I love helping people and being a parent I know first hand that Children are indeed a blessing and a GiFT,
If not for my kids for instance I might not have ever gotten out of the occult.

I'm currently wondering that myself. I've been getting punished my whole life for being the son of my biological father (it's a long story), and I'm wondering whether I'm even supposed to be alive right now.

But, I know God and Jesus doesn't want people to actively pursue death, so at this point, I don't know. I keep struggling with life vs. death every day really.
