  • 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

if feels like there is a fence seperating me from God, and on the other side is how I used to live my life and on the side i'm on its stuff that makes my life pleasureable for now but i know it won't last, and I want to come back to God but I don't want to have to change my whole lifestyle up, but in order for me to come to God i have to.......pretty much it is, I want to serve God without putting fort all the work and I can't do both because if i remember correctly the bible says you can only serve one master but i'm unsure because its been so long sense i read it

I know it is hard sometimes to do what we know is right and how hard it is to give up things that we know aren't what God would have us to do. But don't look at it as giving up, but as getting. God has so many blessings for us. Blessings that we can only receive if we are in his will. Blessings beyond anything that we deserve. If we received based on what we deserve it probably wouldn't be much. But because he loves you so much, he wants to bless you. Bless you beyond what you can ever imagine. The greatest gift that he gives us is eternal life through Christ. When I look at that, it always makes me realize that I want to do what I possibly can so that I can have eternal life. It isn't always easy, but I know only with his help, I can do that.

I will pray for you Tsaxgurl, that you will have the strength and desire to do what you know is right.

:hug:

When someone follows Gods ways because it's expected of them by others it feels more like work than anything.

But when we follow God out of pure appreciation for what He has done for us, it doesn't seem much like work at all.

Ask God to help you with the changes you know you need to make in your life. He will help you with it.

I will be praying for you :pray:
