  • 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

    Freedom from OCD!

    YES!! Bethany you're so right, God's love sets us FREE!! We're free to be loved! There's literally NOTHING that can separate us from the love of the Father (Romans 8:38-39). We're His babies!!! He looks at us and thinks, "That's my baby girl! <3 And there's mah baby boy!!<3 My precious child!"...

    Freedom from OCD!

    "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" John 8:36 (NIV) Just felt like returning to this convo (over a year since my first post!) to let you all know that I'm still doing well! Of course it doesn't mean that fear doesn't try creepin' at my door, but I'm still victorious when I'm...

    Freedom from OCD!

    - Hey red! Aghhh no please don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that we start obsessing over daily devotions/church/etc, that's an awful way to go - I mentioned in an earlier post that when my OCD was taking over, I'd sometimes have to take a "break" from anything that was triggering, which...

    Freedom from OCD!

    Lindsey! I 100% get the feeling of having no control over my mind. My thoughts were also horrific and I honestly didn't believe that I could ever be free from this. My heart really aches for you because I was in the midst of that and it just really STINKS. It's awful, but in Christ, there is no...

    Freedom from OCD!

    Aww, Angel -- I completely understand this. There have been times for me when even reading the Bible itself was a trigger (my thoughts were that out of control, it was torture.) It's really awful. I'm not sure if this is the wisest advice, but what I ended up doing was taking a break from the...

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to pass along a website that also helped me get through. It's a blog from a guy who had struggled from severe panic attacks for a lloooooonngg time, but God set him free. He has some practical advice and also talks about knowing the truth and about spiritual battle...

    Freedom from OCD!

    Aww, peachy :( These feelings do come up sometimes, it's easy to feel alone, I totally get the feeling. Remember that you're not alone, no matter how alone you feel (Isaiah 41:10). Keep holding on! Persevere, the fight's hard, but keep holding on. God wants you to have faith in Him, and trust...

    Freedom from OCD!

    Oohhh my goodnesssss, Angel, you are literally not even close to being alone!! In fact, I relate to you in a few other ways (aside from the the fact that we understand what it's like to have OCD): 1. The TEARSSSS. There have been times when I had this deep deep DEEEEPPP sadness in me, like it...

    Freedom from OCD!

    Peachyy!!! I'm so glad this gave you a little hope!!! Yaaayyyy!! And yeah, OCD's a pain... it really takes over. And it's just annoying because it feels like you're in this annoying pit, or like you're trapped in some vicious thought cycle/pattern that you can't get out of. Stay hopeful!! God...
