  • 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

    Rejecting it all

    It doesn't sound weird at all. If you felt it, that's magnificent because He's not giving up on you! I think that's certainly a conversation you should have with someone who has much more of a grounding and understanding of the Lord than I have. From my perspective though, I think it's good to...

    Rejecting it all

    Do you feel Christ helped you get off the streets? If so, would you feel by going homeless again you're rejecting what He gave you? Perhaps you can pursue the teaching idea as a missionary opportunity? Yeah, I wasn't fond of counseling either, it made me more than a bit unhinged. Certain...

    Managing depression/anxiety while working

    Yeah, I agree with chaoticfirefly - if you're more of a social type person or don't deal well with silence it's completely understandable that negative feelings will overpower you. If you can't have someone with you during your shift, can you possibly listen to music or even better stick an...

    I give up

    Kendra, don't shy away and fight alone. Even if you decide to back away from Christ, the feelings you face aren't going to go away, and if you have no one to talk to about it, you will feel worse. The fight isn't easy. Everyone on this Earth is fighting negative thoughts for one reason or...

    Managing depression/anxiety while working

    First off, your willpower and strength to go through those feelings and come out swinging is beautiful. Well done, make sure you never lose that! You work alone for the first 6 hours? So you do have colleagues or a team coming in with you for the end of your shift? How do you feel when they...

    Rejecting it all

    Ironically, I'd take the kind of job you were doing in a heartbeat these days. You can't really work your own kind of schedule in my job, servers always need attention and care and I am on-call 24/7. If something goes down, my phone quickly lets me know about it and then it's on me to fix it...

    Testimony of a Forever Depressive

    Jeshu, that is wonderful. I'm already happy to be here and I only hope helping out here is what the Lord wants me to do. You just start wondering when your willpower is low and significant statements in the Bible are worded quite harshly how you can cope with it on top of everything else...

    what are you feeling right now? (20)

    What's up, Chris?

    Rejecting it all

    Okano, you've done a brave thing by resigning based on your morals. I don't think many people could. If the Lord wants you away from that place of work and to do other great things then this is the first step to that and I congratulate you for taking that leap. However, I am sure He wants you...

    Testimony of a Forever Depressive

    Thanks Jeshu for your kind words. I agree. Although God and I were "not on good terms" when I had my own epihany, I believe now that He was working to that moment. It took me a while to realise it afterwards - we are never alone in fighting when we're with Him, but some minds are weaker than...

    Testimony of a Forever Depressive

    Greetings. I'm new here. Sorry for the extra long post, but my motivation is to motivate. I've been an on-again off-again Christian for the best part of 20 years, mostly paralysed by the feeling of not wanting to ask the Lord for help because I've never been able to and never would be able to...
