    Does God really answer prayers?

    The nature of prayer is mysterious, much like other aspects of the faith. Something I've been coming to realize is that this world is screwed, so to speak. In that sense, prayer is bittersweet because it's not worth hoping for anything other than Jesus coming back asap to restore the Creation...

    your favorite thing about cf

    Favorite: The people, the fellowship, the body, the unity... :clap: As a current and long-time user of various internet message boards, none can compare to CF when it comes to the respect and humility that people show here. CF is definitely one of the few community-oriented sanctuaries on the...

    Expectations of the sexes

    I agree that there is definitely a place for nuance -- "feminine" men and "masculine" women, if you will. In reality though, it's common to see men dismiss relationships with women who are pursuing PhD degrees, establishing an intense career life, etc. Is that fair? Yes, in the sense that...

    Girlfriend may have a body image problem/eating disorder?

    Thank you for the insightful comments. Regarding her recent negativity, it will be tricky for me to discern how much of that is due to diet/hunger/body image issues and how much of it is due to the typical trials that every believer faces.

    Girlfriend may have a body image problem/eating disorder?

    Hey everyone, three months ago I met a beautiful girl at a church picnic, and we have been a couple for about six weeks now. Our personalities and interests match up fairly well, and more importantly, we're able to talk to each other about our relationship with God and to encourage one another...

    I cyber stalked my match. I'm an idiot!

    Thanks for that. Some people have told me that what I did was driven by excitement and infatuation rather than creepiness, and in my heart, I agree. (Surely, we can all remember a time when we clipped out a photo of a movie star or taped a poster to our wall.) I got worked up because I'm truly...

    I cyber stalked my match. I'm an idiot!

    Hey, your apology isn't necessary since I reacted out of snappiness. But I forgive you, just out of formality :) I appreciated your honesty and input.

    I cyber stalked my match. I'm an idiot!

    Match.com has a counter that shows how many people view your profile. What I feel bad about is how she felt compelled -- according to my theory -- to take down her profile because she felt uncomfortable about someone viewing it so many times. That was the sin: making someone feel stalked and...

    I cyber stalked my match. I'm an idiot!

    I actually just edited and retracted that post. I apologize for that reaction, which was not made out of love. I appreciate all the input, and HopeFaithLove4U makes a good point that I don't want to overlook out of defensiveness. Peace!

    I cyber stalked my match. I'm an idiot!

    I'm just going to be honest about it because I don't want to have a regret about never taking a risk. I don't want to be another single Christian who complains about singleness but never takes any chances.
