  • 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 don't know where to go from here...

    Yes. He gets occasional tutoring or babysitting, but nothing steady, whereas I work full time and overnights 3 nights out of the week.

    I don't know where to go from here...

    I'm going to try to address all of these replies at the same time. Anastasia-- That does sound like a good idea, I'll try that and see if it helps or if he's one of the people who thrives on conflict. I am usually very non-confrontational, so I'm a bit confused as to why with him it's so easy...

    I don't know where to go from here...

    We argue because we can't come to a consensus on just about anything, it seems. I feel like I try to find a compromise, but he has to have things his way or no way. When we do reach a compromise (if we do), I'm so frustrated at how long it took or how much of a compromise it isn't to appreciate...

    A Re-Introduction

    I do understand that my husband is the head, but it's not a struggle for me. However, I do not feel like he is my leader in this walk of life. I almost feel as if it's the blind leading the blind, so to speak.

    A Re-Introduction

    Thank you for the warm welcome back, David! I actually have an appointment with our pastor this week, so hopefully that will help put things in perspective. We have not tried A Weekend to Remember, but will definitely look into it!

    A Re-Introduction

    I am reading day and night. I think it's mainly that we've been fighting nonstop for months and I feel so distant from God, like my marital concerns are the least of His worries. Which logically I know to be false, but it can be hard to convince yourself of all the same.

    I don't know where to go from here...

    I want to save my marriage. I do. And it isn't like Bek has been unfaithful, or I have strayed. I just feel like we fight constantly, over the simplest of things. We fight more than we don't, honestly. And we have our good days, sure, but I've also thought about divorce quite a bit lately. I've...

    A Re-Introduction

    Hello! It's been so long since I've been on this website that I felt a re-introduction may be helpful, if not necessary. My name is Elizabeth and I am 27. I have been married for just under a year, and my husband and I have 4 furbabies--2 cats, a puppy, and a guinea pig. I am doubting and...

    In search of a prayer partner

    Hello! I am new to this forum and recently became a follower of Christ. I would like a prayer partner to help me grow spiritually. I would prefer this be done in email, since that is typically easier. If you are interested please feel free to message me.

    Too Cluttered

    I recently went on a Mission Trip that used that Scripture throughout the week. The week's over-reaching theme was baggage and letting that go. The leaders talked about how the only way to grow closer to God is to lay down what it holding us back at the feet of Jesus. There were things like...

    Deeper Fellowship member intro and Guidelines for posting

    Hi all, I'm Liz, 21, looking to grow closer with Christ. I may be a bit young, but I rather enjoy hearing the insights that people I view as mentors and leaders have. I am currently teaching Sunday School for 2-3 graders, but want to work more with the Jr/Sr high school levels. Liz

    feel like im drifting :(

    Remember Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Also, what I've found really helps is to go on a hike/walk/some other relaxing outdoor activity. Look around you at all the beauty...

    Motivating yourself for studying the bible?

    There's also great free software for your computer called E-Sword. The free version has some of the more popular translations, with the ability to buy others with the "pro" package. I believe that there's also an option to read passages aloud. You can also compare translations side-by-side...
