My present main purpose to be here is to build my faith and help others grow in theirs as I train myself for godliness. There is a different motivation in doing that through a forum. I'm exploring and discovering myself, pushing and challenging myself, getting my thoughts together and better formulate them into words, constantly reminding and stirring myself up for spiritual growth. This gives me some direction, accountability, focus, clarity, helps identify my strengths and weaknesses, and receive new revelations.

God gave me a strong foundation but there's a loooong way to go. I consider I'm still at the beginning. Lol. My whole life wouldn't be sufficient to dig the heavenly treasures in the word of God and worship Him. But thank God for eternal life. Thank God He is so loving, friendly, cool and fun too. Thank God He disciplines us like a father and is preparing us for greater things. Thank God He is perfecting us and will bring us all together and unite us all as one body in Christ, His Son. Thank God He will finish the good work that He started in us. I can't wait to see you all one day, remember all the posts, and maybe laugh at ourselves. :)

(Previously I used to engage in a lot of discussions and debates, a little bit of apologetics and everything else but God has brought me to a place of calmness. He has a different purpose for bringing me back here this year in March. God Himself is training me and now I'm not distracted much by all the other stuff).

I'm glad I found this place. So why are you here?

I have the same purposes as the OP,.. but my original purpose was out of love and loyalty to a friend/father figure of mine on here who was being verbally abused on another website which is why I left and came here and I'm really glad I did. Pretty much everybody is so wonderful on here and I love them all as friends and brothers and sisters in Christ. :)

Great posts!

My purpose for being here seems to be evolving. Lately, I've been spending a lot of time with the Christianity & World Religions subforum, trying to mention articles & ideas that can build peace across religions. For example, St. Maria Goretti is a canonized saint by the Catholic Church, but anyone can appreciate her story of compassion & forgiveness & the redemption of her murderer. "Blessed are the peacemakers" is a Beatitude that keeps coming to mind, and I really try to live that out, even though I know I'm not always successful.

In a broader sense, I really try to be respectful in my posts about anything, to foster a more respectful community here. Nothing gets done when slander is the main tool; even though I still fully believe Catholic Christianity to be the one true religion, I can still broadcast this message in a way that doesn't demean people of other faiths or other denominations of Christianity. You can tell me how I did; if there's something I can improve in my delivery, I'd like to know: Why I Choose Catholic Christianity

Good idea for a thread; I look forward to seeing the rest of the responses!

Pandemic hasn't changed anything for me yet. I believe God has already prepared me for whatever was to come. I've been working from home long before pandemic happened and was strongly convinced of the end of all things at hand. But the Lord has been my shepherd. Psalm 23 has never been more true in my life and the beauty of Christ never stops to amaze me. I feel my calling is to care for the people of God because my burden has been more for the believers than those that are of the world. Through this forum, I hope to provide some encouragement and be encouraged in the Lord as we all face different challenges from the pandemic and everything else.

Your country's struggles with COVID are all over the news lately. I'm very glad you've managed to stay safe. :)

I became active again on CF I think back in 2017, after finding myself in a significant trial that started in my life. I was active on here before years prior, and found it difficult to find a good church / community in the area.

I'm not sure what my calling is on here, but my purpose was to find fellowship and support, and to minister in some way to fellow believers. I've learned a lot over the years that I wanted to share, have a big heart for helping others, and have a love for prophecy - this forum is a great outlet for each.
