  • 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.

I'd like to, and I used to, but I've gotten away from it. I think maybe that could have hurt our marriage ... I wish I had listened when my wife wanted to do it years ago. I'm trying to do it now.

If your church isn't meeting your needs, what do you usually do - try to effect the change yourself or look for a new church? If you look for it at a new church, do you completely switch, or just supplement that need while remaining at your current church.

Keith and I both go to different churches. But I used to go to one where I just didn't click with the people, because most everyone was SOOOOO much older than me. So I started going to the one my mom goes to and I LOVE it!!! We tend to fellowship with people from both churches, like tonight, we were over at my pastor's house and played Uchre with him and his wife while the kids hung out together. We're good friends with my pastor, and between our churches, they really meet all of our needs. I'm closer to my church family than I am to some of my real family. And I haven't gone back to my orginal church. If there was something that I wanted to see happen in my church (now) I'd bring it up to Pastor Ben, and he would see what he could do to make it happen. He's so pro-active, and I'm really comfortable with him and his wife. Like I said, they are good friends.

Do you feel like your church meets your spiritual needs?

My normal church ... whick I havn't been to in three weeks - is a new church plant. No fellowship groups yet, no men's ministry and no singles group. Because it's small, almost all the guys my age or near that I would want to chat with or get to know are working on Sumday morning. By accident, I kind of fell into a singles ministry at another church - the church that runs the divorce care group I attend. I'm really enjoying it - this church has such an active and well planned ministry they even have a singles pastor. It's unique in that it's an evangelical church that doesn't look at the divorced as diseased or give them a scarlet letter.

What is the more important thing you look for in a church - other than feeling God leadinng you there?

It would have to be a close knit church family.

My church is extremely small and everyone is very close. I am usually there at least once if not twice a week. Bible study, women's group, services Sunday morning, sometimes a Friday night fellowship activity...there's always something going on. I really think that having such a close knit family, or at least having friends that go to your church that you can hang out with keeps you closer in your walk with God because you have people that you end up being accountable to. I've chosen to stray from some of my non-believing friends who normally would get me in trouble with my spiritual growth.

But I would look for people in the church who I could identify with and feel comfortable around. If I didn't feel that, then I'd have to look for a different church. If your new church has more people that you can identify with, then I think that would be a good sign that God is leading you there instead.

Do you feel that God is truly present and alive in your church?
