  • 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

mum's gonna visit dad for a couple of months, please pray that he'll be willing to go to church with her. :cry: last time we talked over the phone, he asked whether my church has closed down yet, as a joke of course, but he usually doesn't joke about things like that.

thanks.
 
It is clear you are concerned about your dad. Sometimes people joke about church but something is probally stirring around him to even make the comment. God is very powerful. I pray that He moves the heart of your dad. hey, if He can take Saul and turn him into Paul, He can do anything, right??? I pray that something you or your mom says will be what your dad needs to hear to turn his eyes to God. The examples you set as a christian can speak volumes to some people. Live your life for Christ so your dad continues to see Him living in you.

thank you guys, your prayers mean a lot to me.
mel3, that's probably the problem exactly, i've always been a good girl.. i went to church with mum since primary, and no big fights ever happened at home (even though now that he's not at home), so he doesn't even notice any subtle changes; but u're right... i just need to go out and let him know... but he automatically shies away from these kind of topics.
