• 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.

Prayer for salvation!

Please pray for Julie, that she can come to know Christ and accept him as her Lord & Savior.

I have known Julie for some years now and lately she has been struggling with her physical & mental health. She is unhappy in her life and lonely. She has never been married, nor had any children, though she is very intelligent and well educated. She has no friends or family, she had no-one to love her, apart from me and my friend Jill. She has a good government job as an accountant, but is mistreated at work. She is unloved and it's wearing her out. Her situation is very sad and her struggles are heart-breaking.

I have told her about Jesus and the hope that she can have in Christ. I posted the Gospels to her and urged her to read them so that she may come to know of God's great love for her, which is revealed in his word. Please pray that God opens Julie's heart, that she may come to see the truth in God's word and that Jesus may be revealed to her so she can be saved and loved for eternity. Pray that God calls her to his purpose! Pray that God shines his light into her darkness and gives her hope through Christ!

Thank you all for your prayers and your goodness. God bless you all.

Victor.

I will join you in prayers for your friend Julie. Have you considered asking her to go to Church with you? I had a good friend who was reluctant to read Scripture until he joined me at a church service and felt the warmth and compassion from those around him. Just a thought.

I pray that God will open the eyes of her heart to see the danger of not having salvation and the love of God who is "not willing for any to perish" but for all to come to repentance. 2 Pet 3

Asking for God's help to open your friend's eyes and to remove the blinders from their minds as He did with us.

"To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me." Acts 26:18

"...for their minds have been blinded by the god of this age, leaving them in unbelief. Their blindness keeps them from seeing the dayspring light of the wonderful news of the glory of Jesus Christ, who is the divine image of God." (II Cor 4:4).

Hi Jeff,

Yes, I have considered asking her to church, but I have been struggling with my health so it's been hard for me to get to church, but I hope to get her to church soon.

Thank you for your prayers and God bless.
