• 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.

Please pray for a friend who is working with me on the anime/RPG fan site, Ryan.

He is having some serious financial problems. Among them, he hasn't been able to pay his heating bill (which is really bad, since he lives in Kentucky, and it is really cold there) he owes thousands of dollars in debts, and his phone was cut off.

Also, he is clinically depressed, and his church told him to leave because he liked music they did not approve of. :cry: :cry: :cry:  

Please pray for him.

man...how sad. with his financial problems...he just needs to really trust in God. no bill is too big for God, and he needs to understand that. if it was, i'd be dead or on the street by now. cuz my family should've owed hundreds and thousands of dollars...without exaggerating. God works in miraculous ways.

the church...:sigh:
that's sad...that a church would do that because of someone's preference of music...or any other reason. he needs to find another church and get rooted in it. talk to him, and be there for him. give him encouragement from the Word. be there for him spiritually.

i'll pray for him.

Saying a pray for Ryan! I too am concerned about a church that would turn someone away because of a musical preference. I just pray that he will find another church that will minister to him and lift him up, not turn him out.

Also sounds like he could benefit from a financial counselor. Some churches offer financial counseling. Might be worth him looking into. But blueiverson is right, God can overcome financial difficulties.

A church like that kicks him out because of the music he listens to? Am i just being silly to think that that church went a little too far?

Dear God. Did You see that?!! That church kicked that poor fellow out! I mean, in a place where love and acceptance is supposed to be thriving, it seems like weeds are growing everywhere in that place. I pray for Susan's friend. Hope that You can help him out and guide him to the right path. That church too. Praying that You can restore that place to its bright form that it should be. Amen.
