  • 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

    Is there any hope for me?

    I don't see a matter of willingness or unwillingness here--nothing short of a direct divine intervention could possibly cause me to no longer want someone. (And I've prayed for that, if that's how He wanted it to be--and even that got a no. So, I can only conclude that He wants me to have this...

    Is there any hope for me?

    A further update--still getting absolutely nowhere, almost collapsed in tears this weekend as I was caught in the vicinity of a bachelorette party (bit of a long story there, but pretty much just a coincidence--and to those who say that "a coincidence is a miracle where God chooses to remain...

    Is there any hope for me?

    There's actually a reason for that, Chadwickboy. It involves hormones. But my problem is a little different from just "not wanting" kids--I have severely oversensitive hearing, and crying babies tend to use frequencies that cause me a great deal of pain (there are a few--if you ever listen to a...

    Is there any hope for me?

    Here I am... 32, and never so much as had a girlfriend... (closest I've come, on the 4th date, it became obvious she had to have kids, and I can't handle dealing with the ankle-biters :))... my church has nothing for singles, and the only one in my entire county that does, the group is highly...

    How to Reach Singles/Young adults in church?

    Personally, I'd love to be set up on blind dates, but chacun a son goût. Moral there: ask first.

    How to Reach Singles/Young adults in church?

    Personally, I just wish my church (the only evangelical one in walking distance) had any kind of singles ministry--technically, at age 31, single, and hearing, I am ineligible for every Sunday School class there!

    Bitterness...

    All I can say about this is, in my case, one of the facets of what's wrong with my mind (it's called Asperger's disorder, to give it a technical name) is that we have a very hard time feeling happiness at a good thing granted to another. I myself have overcome this to some extent, but when it...

    question for reformationist/ predestined /elect believers

    Right now, that is an issue I am faced with--the only conclusion I can reach from my life is that election/predestination is true, and that my predestination is hell. I desperately want to not believe it, but it seems inevitable.
