  • 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

a friends problem

Not open for further replies.
My friend told me the other day that she accepted Christ. everyone was really happy, but she seemed upest. I asked her a few days later what was wrong and she said she was having a lot of doubts and that she only did it because everyone was preasuring her to, and now she feels just miserable. I've wanted to talk to her about it, tell her that she can doo it again, for the right reasons if she wants and stuff, but I hate to say it, but for the past three days I haven't had more than ten minutes alone with her at a time. I will have a good chance to talk to her tommorow (its the start of spring break!), so prayers would be really helpful. Please pray for her and for me because she keeps trying to talk to me and I always feel so akward, like I know I should trust God to give me words, and I try to, but they just don't come and I sound stupid and cant even make a cohearent sentence, much less a point or anything.

anyway, prayers are good :)

Hi Lisa ,
I am praying for your friend during this time in her life. She is lucky to have a friend like you who cares so much and I pray that she be given the guidance that she needs during this time. Any time there is a growth process in our life, it sometimes hurts...whether it be physical growth, emotional growth, intellectual growth, or spiritual growth, they don't call them "growing pains" for nothing...I am praying with love and blessings!
Amie :angel:

oh... saying that u'd accept Christ coz of the pressure's quite.... bad. I hope your friend will get to experience God herself and come to realise that accepting Christ is not about easing others's reactions.
i'll be praying for her spiritual growth and you.
