  • 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.

For awhile I have been trying to figure out how to make our faith a more central part of mine and my now fiance's relationship. We are now long distance, so we can't even go to church together anymore. Even when we lived in the same town together, we went to different churches on Sunday morning because we are different denominations, then went to Sunday night worship together at my church.

My latest solution? I needed to get back in the habit of daily devotionals, I haven't been very good about it for a few months. When I started up again a few days ago, I decided that I would find one verse in my reading every night and send it to him in an email. I write what I think is significant about the verse and then how I think it applies or how it can be applied to our relationship. Every morning when he checks him email, he has a new morning message from me with a Bible verse and some words of encouragement. Each day he writes me back with some words of encouragement and what the verse meant to him. I hope this will help us to focus more on God in our relationship and help us both to grow toward who God wants us to be.

My bf and I are pretty much in a long distance relationship also. We find that reading together on the phone and praying on the phone is really helpful in keeping us focused on God. I think your idea is great too.
yes that's what we do too
