    My mother died, kind of suddenly

    She died in my arms yesterday. Technically me and my dad were caring for her when it happened, the two of us in our living room holding her up. She was talking to us, but it was incoherent and I couldn’t figure out what she was trying to say. What I remember is my last words to her: “I’m here...

    Broken Hearts

    An Original Work / December 14, 2012 Based off Jeremiah 31:15 (cf. Matt. 2:18) Weeping in Ramah; her children no more. Rachel is weeping; her comfort forlorn. Jesus is waiting; her comforter be, When she calls on Him down on bended knee. He has provided our sins’ sacrifice, When He died for our...

    I'm lonely and I need a friend

    I'm going through a very difficult time in my life right now. I'm trying my best, though. I practice an abundance of self-care skills, activities, and things that otherwise bring me joy. I surrender my emotional pain to God, and I've reconnected with my faith. I try to practice acceptance and...

    Finding an Anchor in God

    I am grieving right now. I’m grieving the loss of a damaging, unhealthy, and harmful friendship, but a friendship I held close to all the same. I’m grieving the loss of the familiar life I used to have, a life my old friend played a massive role in. I’m grieving myself, as it relates to this...

    Would my pets who I had to rehome welcome me into Heaven? Would they stop loving me?

    Hi All, I had to rehome my four precious and beloved pet rats on July 1 due to a move which came sooner and I deeply regret it. The boys are with new owners, a lovely couple. I receive new photos of the boys almost every day but I can see my precious boys are truly heartbroken. I'm truly...

    Hi, I'm new here.

    Hey, I'm new here. Earlier this month I lost my wife, my best friend to cancer. We worked together from home and spent all our time together for the last 20 years. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. Over the years she had met many friends in various online Christian forums, so...

    If Jesus can guarantee Resurrection, but Evolution can't guarantee Jesus: stick with Jesus?

    Hi there, So there is a bit of a bind here. I have tried to describe as exactly as I can what it is that vexes me about the whole Creation/Evolution thing: Jesus can guarantee Resurrection, but Evolution can't guarantee Jesus. There is a major problem here, right? I mean I am not ultimately...

    Eternal (temporary) Life???

    To discuss the loss of salvation we must first establish the 'fact' of salvation in one's life. Many will say to Christ "Lord, Lord," but they will go away into eternal destruction, not having had that life altering relationship with Christ that is so necessary (Matthew 7:22-23). Many will make...

    I am reluctant to argue: that a progression of God, can not be an evolved God

    Hi there, So sorting through all the items in my inventory that might prove worthwhile to Evolution, I have hit on the idea that perhaps an argument can be made from God. The argument goes like this: take God in an early time, then take God in a later time, then take God in a much later time...

    The Exchange

    Philippians 3:7-11 ESV But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain...

    Losing Faith and Salvation?

    So we all know sin is a burden which carries death as punishment. We know that believing on him can grant us everlasting life. Obviously, if it is eternal, it is never ending, but if you throw away a gift, is it not gone? Paul describes in Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through...

    New experience, what now??

    I am a non diagnosed male (40 yo) but I wouldn't say NT. I have a son with autism and I am sure I am on the spectrum as well. Anyway, I have generally considered myself a loner and often wondered why I was so different all through my life. This summer we had a lot of stresses with wildfires and...

    Some Requests

    Can you on CF pray for a woman my mom has met at whose daughter who had her baby way too soon and the baby died. Please pray for that family, I can't imagine what that is like. Grief is hard, and a premature baby like that must be very hard on the parents and the family. Also, my mom has had...
