• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

This isn't going to be my verbose self.

I've been extremely unstable (internally, been able to put up a mask) and my faith is wavier than the ocean in a hurricane. Almost apostatized two days ago but the Holy Spirit dragged me kicking and screaming into a shouty prayer asking God for assurance. Yesterday I was reading "atheist to christian" stories to try to ground my belief rationally so I don't have a "faith lapse" and fall into sin blindly. Today I feel listless and confused. I want to cry to God for help but I also want to hide in bed and pretend nothing exists.

In general I feel incredibly weak. Please pray for me. :nooo:

Just remember that even though the stormy seas are wavier than ever Gods lighthouse is still there in the distance. Just keep referring back to that light even when its faint and its hard to see clearly through the mist. It will guide you home.

Questioning things is ok and sometimes we burn our fingers to learn a lesson. So long as we are willing to learn that lesson. Which takes faith. Sometimes thats what it comes down to. God doesn't give up on us and He will show the way. He is the potter and we are the clay.

Sometimes we lose the way and its ok. We have to steel our faith and that takes growth. We are also humans and we can take our humanness to God. He understands. I will pray for you that God will shine the way for you and give you hope and strength in your trials. :crosseo:
