• 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.

  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I recently left my church of over 10 years. It's been a great experience and I love the new church I'm attending. But tonight I am planning on going to their young adult group for the first time. I have never attended a youth group or young adult group other than the one that was at my old church. I'm incredibly nervous. I don't know what to expect and I don't know anyone there, except the lady who leads it. I'm absolutely terrified but at the same time I know that I cannot pass up this opportunity.

This is astronomically outside of my comfort zone! To go alone to a brand new young adult group filled with people I have never met is something that I would never do. So I need courage and I need strength! Please pray that I don't let fear keep me from this opportunity. I really want to do this. I really need to do this. I've been praying that God breaks me from my comfort zone and this is a step that I can take to do that. Please pray that I don't let it slip through my fingers! Fear will not control me!

I pray for you to grow stronger with the Lord as he travels with you, and accompanies you to this new group. May the Lord bless you in Jesus precious name ...

May God bless you as you seek to step along the path He has laid out for you. I pray that you will have confidence to step into this opportunity to share God's word with others. I pray that God will give you grace and mercy, renewing your confidence in the power of His word and fellowship with fellow believers. I pray that God will grant wisdom to those at the study, that they will be friendly but undemanding, allowing you to find the level of participation that works for you. I pray that you will have the opportunity to grow in the understanding of the things of the Spirit.
