• 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.

This year, I started reading the bible every day. I also listen to Christian artists. I have begun to become more conscious of what I watch and do. On my days off, it is hard getting through the day. I don't like to watch a lot of television. I want to grow in Lord but I feel like there is a barrier in my relationship with the Lord.

How can I overcome mental barriers?

What television shows or artist you listen to?

What kind of mental barriers do you think is keeping you?
I personally like to listen to K-Love radio station online. As for television shows, I don't watch t.v. If I have my own place, I would most likely refrain from purchasing a television. I borrow dvd's from my local library, however. I like watching pioneer videos or classics like Anne of Green Gables. I also watch select Christian movies if I feel like watching something.

I also follow 'Sam and Nia' on YouTube. They're a Christian family and they're quite nice to watch : )

I strengthened my relationship with the Lord by reading up about testimonies of people who had NDE and their personal experiences with Heaven and Hell during their NDE.

I don't watch TV either, but then I'm married with kids so I have no time for it anyway. I do read a lot of Christian authors whenever I have any spare time. On rare occasions I'll watch a Hallmark movie because those are pretty clean.

One thing I'd suggest is for you to find something to get involved in. It's great to have a daily time in the word to grow your relationship with God, but he also wants you do something with it to the benefit of others. Maybe it's building relationships with people, maybe it's volunteering with a ministry. Something that's focused on showing Christ's love to other people.

Since you asked for advice, I'd say give up t.v. period. I was told to do this years ago. I was told "Television is being used to harden the hearts of Americans." The anti Biblical messages of the Bible are all over t.v. It is NOT being run by the Lord!

I do watch the news and some historical things on You Tube, but have no t.v. and have not missed it a bit.

I pray you get wisdom in this issue, and strength to turn from "Babylon."

... I want to grow in Lord but I feel like there is a barrier in my relationship with the Lord. ...
There are a lot of causes for this, but the solutions for all of them are the same: persist in drawing closer to the Lord. Some of the ways this is done is by trying to know who the Lord is and what he is like better through Bible study, prayer, obedience, devotionals, fasting, choosing to trust that he keeps his promises and act on that, etc.
