  • 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 biblical evidence that suggests that people who take their own lives go to Hell?

    This has been a question that's been burning in my mind for a while. Really ever since a few years ago. Is there any evidence in the Bible that suggests that God punishes people who take their own lives? My mother told me that it's basically like "slapping God's hand away" since he gifted you...

    Does God even love certain people who were "mistakes"?

    My mother, who is a spiritual woman, has always talked about God's free will with humanity. One of the things she talks about is how some people have children that they weren't really supposed to have, which is part of God's "free will". So my question is this: Does God even care about the...

    Made a stupid and dangerous choice while driving feeling guilty and scared

    An old man was walking on the side of a blind corner rather than the safe walkway on the other side of the road. I drove in the middle of the lanes around him when oncoming traffic started getting closer. My brain just went ‘got to go back in lane now’ but what really bothers me is that I also...

    Anxious over my marriage

    I come from a rough background, with a rough childhood and lots of traumas. I dealt with anxiety for a large portion of my life. Until I met my husband, became a Christian, left atheism. I felt healed in so many areas and was very secure in faith and in my marriage. Now my husband has come to...

    Driving OCD Wonder if I should just give up my license

    I keep making possibly dangerous mistakes, today I didn't yield to a pedestrian at a crossing. I had checked for people while approaching it, stopped at the stop sign right in front of it, but as I was about to move on a pedestrian appeared from between parked cars and I stopped, they stopped, I...

    My driving mistakes scare me so much, and my OCD doesn't help!

    So lately all of my compulsive thinking and anxiety and checking has been about my driving. Today I think I might have cut in front of a cyclist by accident! I even came back shortly after, but the cyclist had moved on somewhere. They were going down a hill quite fast, near the speed limit and...

    Anxiety - What is at the heart of those feelings.

    Anxiety is produced when someone tries to push themselves to do something that does not come naturally to them, is not in their nature, and/or is not meant for them. Most anxiety is created by trying to be something that God did not create you to be or do something that God does not want you to...

    I hate politics

    I hate politics and everything related to it. I'm apolitical. I'm not even patriotic. I have my own views and ideas that don't fit with either side or ideology 100%. Politics just gives me headcache, a bad gut feeling, anxiety and angst. I hate the right, i hate the left, i hate centrists, i...

    I can't feel at peace

    I read everywhere on this forum that people with OCD have almost the exact same worries doubts and such as I have and have had. They are not being able to sleep, I barely sleep only for a few hours at a time just to be waking up in panic. I don't know why this is like it is. The days go by and...

    What does God want me to do with a big decision?

    For months, I have been going crazy trying to make a big decision. Should I stay at my dream school or go to an affordable school? Last year in January, I was accepted into my dream school and transferred from a school I was attending that was in my state. However I realized at the last minute...

    POCD and relationships

    Hey all, I'm a girl, and I've struggled with POCD for awhile. It's to the point where I'm hyper aware around kids, and I get anxious holding them or playing with them. I also, a few years ago, was worried about potentially going into high school teaching, because I was afraid of my thoughts of...

    Waking up with anxiety

    I tend to wake up in the morning, have a few seconds of peace, and then BAM, I start worrying and ruminating about something. It's enough to make me nauseous and I don't want to get out of bed and go to work--in fact, I had to stop writing this post and run to the bathroom because I nearly threw...

    I feel like I need to confess just how awful I am

    Saturday afternoon I got a new pair of glasses in the mail; my boyfriend was messing around and wanted me to put them on him; I was feeling a little annoyed at the idea but I did it anyway. But as I was doing it, I chose to poke him in the eye with the temple of the glasses. He just said "don't...

    Constant anxiety in dating

    I'm constantly worried about flaws and imperfections in my boyfriend of 2 months. Every week I have something new to obsess over. "What about this thing, what about that?" I'm bouncing around his different issues--many of which he's willing to talk about and make changes on, especially the...

    Prayers for mental health, work stress, and martial stress

    Hello everyone, I have OCD where I keep having repetitive thoughts and I can't help it. I was going to therapy up until just recently and will be starting ERP therapy in June to help with my OCD when I get on my husband's insurance. Previously he wouldn't stop talking to one of my best friends...

    Obsessing about dating

    So I met this guy recently. I'm usually pretty good at reading people and determining pretty fast if a guy is someone I'd want to date or not. And when I first met this guy, I had a couple small red flags. But he wanted to hang out so I decided to give him a chance. We ended up going on a date...

    Finding artistic work with social anxiety?

    I'll cut to the chase: I am unemployed, have very little work history, and I suffer from extreme social anxiety and depression which prevents me from being able to properly hold a job. I am doing my best to get therapy, and I have been making strides, but the fact is, I can't work jobs in places...

    Therapy and medication suggestions?

    I deal with PTSD and extreme anxiety that can at times make me feel sick. I am trying my best to focus on God's good will and trust Him, but even when I try and put my mind in the right place, my body still tenses up and my biology starts the panic reactions all the same. Naturally I am looking...

    If you're not okay, that's okay

    This is something that's been on my mind for a while. I won't get into details, but if you ask me or most any of my cousins, we'd all agree that our family is a family well acquainted with grief. In 1999 I lost an aunt to a drunk driver. In 2000 I lost my mom to breast cancer. In 2008 I lost...
