• 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.

A Praise.

Have a friend whom I have known for over three years. Been trying to get him to church but he always had an excuse. Been praying for God to cause him to have a desire to come to church.

Finally on March 2nd, he joined me at church. He also joined me the following night on March 3rd. I now pray that he will continue and that build a relationship with God.

A follow up to the original post.

My friend has not returned to church. Unfortunately my work schedule is going to change, meaning I won't be going on my friend's free night. I honestly don't predict him going if I am not there.

Besides praying, not sure what else I can do.

What your friend needs is to get convicted by the Holy Spirit. Going to church won't do a lot of change in him if he just goes there to look, though it was nice he wanted to go with you the two last times.

Keep on praying for him, and most of all to pray God will open up his eyes, making it clear to him that he needs repentance and becoming saved through Jesus Christ. That He will also trust in Him.
