  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    I agree, but God uses many ways to accomplish His will. If I had cancer I would pray and certainly understand its in Gods hands. I would also seek medical help and pray God could work through the Dr.

    I hope her family are not opposed to our reconciliation. I would of thought somebody would of replied they are praying for our marriage. O well, I will pray they can also submit to Gods desire for marriage. I know some of them have seen her suffering and only want her to be happy.

    I have been through many revealing periods in this affliction. I spent to much time asking God why, and feeling like a victim. I can confidently now say God has allowed this for my good. He has shown me the victim is my wife who fell for the lies of the evil one. I pray the Lord will open her...

    Wife is back sliding and wants to divorce.

    It is going to take some investigating to find out about the other man. All I know is his first name and where he goes to walk. I wasn't even sure if he was married until I asked my wife if his wife knows. She said she does know about them. I don't believe her because they probably wouldn't...

    Wife is back sliding and wants to divorce.

    I have not sought any legal advice. I am in California and know she is intitled to half of everything, including my pension. She has not worked for 24 years, but she said she dosn't want alimony. She has said she would like to not use lawyers, but our communication is so messed up right now I...

    Yes again very thought provoking. I know I am very concerned for her future. The thoughts of my future is like a fog I feel completely unsure of it. I know my wife is not in control of it. I know God is in control of my future my heath and my security. Thanks

    I was layed off work 9 weeks ago. I am only 56, but have my 30 years in the carpenters union. I really am unsure of what I am going to do. Retirement will require moving out of the expensive area I am. I told Celeste I would continue to work if she wants to come back, but she says I should...

    I appreciate your prayers. You are right we had been growing apart. My job took most of my time and the time I had when I got home my wife didn't seem to want. I believe she didn't start the relationship thinking it would lead her to adultery. I realize a big part of her sin was a direct result...

    Thank you very good reminder. Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

    Wife is back sliding and wants to divorce.

    I really appreciate all the advice I have received here. The comfort I find in God listening to his saints lifting prayers to his thrown room of grace for my wife is very reassuring. There is a great freedom when you understand it's in God's hands. I seem to go days feeling this peace. I also...

    I steped down awhile back because of health issues with a family member, and time constants.

    Yes, I understand only God can soften her heart and make it receptive to his call, but I feel a responsibility to make sure I am doing what God calls me to do in reaching her.

    Wife is back sliding and wants to divorce.

    God's grace is a powerful thing, and I know there is no way I could feel like this if I didn't understand how much God has forgiven me. I pray some how God is glorified through this. If my wife hears well done good and faithful servant when she stands before the Lord, I know I will be so...
