  • 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.

A little advise please!

Okay so I just became saved april 5 of this year and before I always struggled with wanting to find the right girl for me. After I became saved I felt like that search was put on hold because God would lead me to the right woman I am suppose to be with. Lately It seems like I've been really longing for a relationship again. How do you wait patiently for the one that God is going to send your way?? It's hard!!!

Well.. think of it this way.. what else are you going to do? lol The only thing you CAN do is wait.. no worries man.. Youll find someone.. just enjoy your life one day at a time.. Work on hobbies, focus on fellowship with friends.. just enjoy the things He has put in your life.. dont worry about relationship or not. Often times He uses this time to shape YOU. Just be excited that he has you in mind and things will be good. :D

*echoing boarderdave*

it is hard. but God has your interests in mind. just wait. if you're in school, campus ministries are a good place to hang out. there are a lot of other people in the same position you are.

other wise, just try to get involved at your church. they usually have a singles group or something. it

it gives you an oulet to other people, yet still give you Godly counsel and Godly friends...

Yeah, what he said :)

You really have no other choice. Which sounds more appealing: sitting around moping because you are single? or taking joy in the fact that God is using this time to shape you for the person you are going to marry? I would hope the latter;)

Since you are such a new Christian, your relationship with Christ should be the number one focus in your mind right now. The other stuff will come :thumbsup:

Definitely what she said. Our relationship with Christ should always be the number focus in our lives... way before marriage. It will come when you are ready.

By (at the very least) meeting them halfway ;)

God helps those who help themselves.....

Or something like that.

Chin up.

People who wait around often end up ....waiting around.

Get out, enjoy company, include women in your circle of friends and contacts. Be a person worth knowing, so as to attract someone with similar values.

Good relationships, including a life long partner, depend on common interests, values, insights and trust. You can learn a lot about those from social contacts, and recognise any women who shares many of them too. Informed choice makes for better marriages than waiting for some mystical 'guidance' or selection process.

And some parents or other mature people can be a great resource in helping with evaluation.
