what would you do if God asked you to choose between your family or the ministry that he has called you into.

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.

God will not ask you to break any of His commandments to in turn "follow" Him.
For instance, if you are married to a believer, He won't tell you to leave the marriage for the ministry... but, for instance, if you married an unbeliever and your leading is to the ministry then it's up to the spouse to follow you in your following God... (Paul left his wife for Christ, remember.)

Hello!!
Welcome to Christian Forums!
I am so glad that you decided to join the site. This site is full of wonderful Christians who love to praise God, fellowship and just have a good time. I am sure that you will quickly meet many new brothers and sisters in Christ. If you are wondering where a good place to get started on the site would be, I would recommend that you check out the Edification and Life Stages boards. Edification allows you to participate in Biblical studies, to ask other Christians questions, and to post prayer requests. Life Stages is designed for people to meet and talk to people at different stages in their lives. There are many more options on this site, and if you would like for me to recommend some more for you please feel free to send me a private message.To access the women's forum you will have to request access.
There is a sticky thread in the How To Forum to request access:
If you have trouble accessing the Women's forum - post here.
You need 50 posts to be able to include links/images in your posts.
You need 100 posts to be able to participate in the chat box.
I would also recommend that you check out the Blessings Exchange. This board allows you to play games and participate in fellowship threads to earn extra blessings, the site's currency. You can use your blessings for such things as purchasing items for your Living Avatar or creating a Pet.
The simplest way to earn blessings is by posting. You may earn anywhere from 5-10 blessings per post depending on post size. You may also get a Job here at Christian Forums to earn extra blessings. All you are required to do is post and collect your salary every week! The more you post, the more blessings you earn. You must have at least 100 posts to select a job. After you start earning blessings, you can deposit those blessings in a savings account at the Christian Forums Bank. By depositing your blessings in a savings account, you are able to collect a 1% interest on those savings each week! I do advise you to only deposit blessings once per week since the timer resets each time you deposit or withdraw blessings.
Two forums to easily add posts in are Blessing Exchange and the Recreation Room.
In the Forum Number Games forum (under Rec Room) you can simply count.
If you have any forum related questions, just click here. If you still have questions, feel free to send me a private message and I'll do the best I can to help.

I'll tell you what Jesus Christ told his disciples.
'For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.' Matt12:50
'If any man come to Me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.' Luke14:26
'And He (Jesus) said unto another, Follow me.
But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Luke9
Sounds kinda harsh if unfamiliar with Holy Scripture, but i assure you that one day in time, it will all become all too clear.
