  • 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

    Im suffering with my quietness..

    "Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near." (Philippians 4:5). I agree with the other posters that God makes us all different and your quietness can actually be a good thing and God can still use you to minister to others. Maybe you are a good listener and God could use you in...

    OCD Incident

    I agree with Soldier. You are right to ignore the thoughts as they have no validity. And not only right, but every time you ignore the thoughts despite the anxiety, you are actually doing something that is beneficial for getting rid of your OCD. It's a kind of behavioural therapy. By ignoring...

    cant say "jesus is lord"

    Dear Grant, I understand that it's hard to feel certain about things when you have OCD. OK, maybe that's an understatement, LOL. (I'm laughing at myself too as I have been an OCD sufferer.) But it's important not to rely too much on feelings. We are to believe God's Word, not our own feelings...

    poll

    Afraid I'm not good enough to get into heaven? I know I'm not good enough to get into heaven. Thankfully, Jesus died for my sins and I'm forgiven and so I can go to heaven through His righteousness. Hallelujah! :clap: Don't speculate; just believe His promises. If we repent of our sins and put...

    So Afraid

    Elzic, Sorry to hear of your struggle. It does sound like maybe coming off the medicine caused a flare-up and now maybe it's taking a while for the meds to stabilize again. My feeling is that because of the OCD you are over-sensitive about wanting to please God and over-anxious that you might...

    Perspective!

    Excellent post, Mitzi! Canamer, I totally agree with your perspective. Of course none of us would choose to have OCD, but when we give it all to God and let him use it for His glory, He will! As you say, we trust Him moment by moment, regardless of how we feel. It's right to seek and pray for...

    Can't stop making promises, need a friend right now

    ShelovesChrist is right. To keep seeking to follow God even when your OCD makes you afraid of Him is a true act of love and God will bless you for it. Take it one day at a time and know that there are many of us who understand what you are going through, even if we don't have all the answers...

    How do I come back to God for help

    When you make one of these OCD vows and then break it, you are also breaking its power over you. You are confronting the fear and devaluing the thoughts, and that is the way to freedom from OCD. So if you find yourself unintentionally vowing not to read the Bible for more than a few sentences...

    Overcoming OCD

    This is a wonderful verse to hold on to. Thanks for sharing this testimony.

    let the redeemed of the Lord say so

    :amen: Thank you so much for posting this, ShelovesChrist. It's really encouraging. Indeed our Lord is able to save us from all our dark times and nothing can separate us from Christ. Let's keep pressing on towards the goal. Keep running without looking back. It's not us who can save ourselves...

    ocd fear

    A couple of thoughts: If you were really having the thoughts deliberately, if you really wanted to curse God, surely you would be happy about the state you are now in, where you are having blasphemous thoughts all day. You would be really glad that you could follow your heart's desire all day...

    ocd fear

    When some of us tell you to ignore the thoughts, please don't think we are minimizing what you are going through and offering a simplistic answer. In fact, as you can see from other replies many of us have gone through the gut-wrenching fear, feeling sick to the stomach because of OCD thoughts...

    Is it OCD or the devil, or is it ME

    Dear PK, I don't know whether the thoughts are demon related or not. To me there is no conflict in saying you have OCD and also that Satan is attacking you because I believe Satan uses all kinds of means to attack God's children whenever he can. However, he is a defeated enemy. It seems you...
