Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Deeper Fellowship...

Fellowship is a wonderful idea, but sometimes we don't go as deep as we would like to. You know when someone asks "How are you doing?" That is such surface stuff, I think we can do better than that as a Christian family. The pat answer for that is "I'm fine." Which really stands for Frustrated Insecure Neurotic And Emotional....and even though there are people who would feel this way, we never really get to know that. If we went a little below the surface stuff, maybe we can get a feeling of real fellowship on here. One of the problems with that on the internet also is the people who come on and just blast others for putting their feelings on the line, and that is the reality and shame that we face on here too. If we see that, lets stand up for each other in peace and love. :)

There are so many one anothers in the Word that we can be doing even here on the internet for each other, and I believe we tend to neglect that. :scratch:

Just for the record....I'm doing great today!! Please pray for my ministry as we go out to spread the good news. I would really appreciate it...this is just one of the one anothers that Jesus is talking about...we need to pray for one another on a somewhat personal basis. Is there anything I can pray for you about? :prayer:

Agape, MeekOne

I will do my best to keep you and your ministry lifted up in prayer for sure! I could use some prayer on a few things honestly:

1) I am struggling and at a crossroad's with a couple things in my life -- the church I am attending and where I work.

2) Please people pray for the children I work with and children everywhere. I am seeing the direct results and consequences of our Lord being taken out of homes, schools, etc. and I can't say its good.

3) Please pray for a spirit that is in our church that needs to be gone. Christians should not be caddy, negative, and rude to one another and they are.

Thank you so much for this great idea MeekOne. I pray that the Lord is giving one wisdom and peace.

I will pray that lives will be changed among the people that you meet in your work and in your church. Just keep yourself ready and prepare as the Spirit leads as there is a mighty move of God coming involving the outpouring of mighty signs and wonders following the Word.

Thank you so much!!! It looks like this thread was definitely needed here, and I am so glad the Lord has all the glory for it, because without Him, we are nothing. I will certainly be praying for your job, the children you work with - I know, I have something for you to read that I will post in a few minutes about God being taken out of the schools - and I will pray for your church for them to remember Who is the most important One that needs their focus, and that the Lord rebuke the condemning spirit. :prayer: You are wonderful for joining us here!

What a great Idea. It is great to get to know others better. To pray for them, their family and anything else they might need pray for.

I just found out this morning that my mother in law needs to have knee replacement surgery on both knees.

I am not well today. I have been up since 3 am and have been feeling under the weather.

My family is also getting ready to move into another Home. We are about to close on this home and the current home we are in will become a rental property. Just pray that all this goes well and turns out as planned.

Hello Cameron! :) Thank you for joining us here! :clap: I will be happy to keep you and your family in my prayers. Your mother-in-law sounds like she has a major hard time coming her way. That will be difficult. I hope she has someone to rely on after the surgery such as a husband or someone like yourself that will be there for her. But it sounds like you have your hands full with moving and trying to sell property before buying another...on top of that you are sick...I am so sorry that this is happening to you. :hug: I will keep you in my prayers throughout the day that the Lord help make you well again, helps your mother-in-law get through her operations and that your family feel at home again soon. :prayer: Please drink lots of fluids and get as much sleep as you can in the meantime...it will make a world of difference. :)

what you will be posting has something to do with what Anne Graham Lots said while on a morning show. It was very though provoking and I wish they would have spread what she said to the ends of the earth.

Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to come by and get this thread going. MeekOne has a heart of gold and really does want to make a difference in the world as we can see on CF. Thank you sister for your heart, generosity, kindness, and yet another great idea!:hug:

Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. My Mother in law will be moving into the new house with us so that we can help take care of her. Luckily there is plenty of room in this new house for all of us. It is a two story house with full kitchens on both floors. She will have what is basically her own apartment.

As soon as I get home from Work I am going to bed :)

Great Thread Meek One!! What is your ministry?
I am sending out over 100 christmas cards to people in prison. Please pray for them that GOD will use the card HE has me sending them draw them closer to HIM.

And please pray for Carol. She has been in prison for 14 years and has another three and a half to serve. She is getting discouraged. She thought she was getting out cause she killed a man in self defence but the appeal failed.

Great thread Meek!

We also experience the evil spirit in the church thing...please pray for my church as well.

Also, I remind everyone how the times are changing, food prices are going up, tv brainwashing has no end, our youths minds are being evily corrupted by the evil corporations running the world today, nuclear war is moments away, and so on and so forth...

please, everybody I beg you...pray for the world in general every single day. There are billions in the world suffering and needing the Lords attention while we sit in our homes on the internet. I can't help but think if we all come together and let GOD know that we are good caring people, faithful loving brothers and sisters, he will shine some light on such an evil out-of-control world.

Peace and Love from my heart...

Reply:

Dear Concerned Student:

I am not allowed in schools.

Sincerely,

God

----------------------------------------------------------

How did this get started?...

-----------------

Let's see,
I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained

she didn't want any prayer in our schools.

And we said, OK...

------------------

Then,
someone said you better not read the Bible in school,

the Bible that says
"thou shalt not kill,
thou shalt not steal,
and love your neighbors as yourself,"


And we said, OK...

-----------------

Dr. Benjamin Spock said
we shouldn't spank our children

when they misbehaved

because their little personalities
would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem.


And we said,
an expert should know what he's talking about

so we won't spank them anymore..

------------------

Then someone said
teachers and principals better not

discipline our children
when they misbehave.
And the school administrators said

no faculty member in this school
better touch a student when they misbehave
because we don't want any bad publicity,
and we surely don't want to be sued.

And we accepted their reasoning...

------------------

Then someone said,
let's let our daughters have abortions if they want,

and they won't even have to tell their parents.

And we said, that's a grand idea...

------------------

Then some wise school board member said,
since boys will be boys

and they're going to do it anyway,
let's give our sons all the condoms they want,
so they can have all the fun they desire,
and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school.

And we said, that's another great idea...

------------------

Then some of our top elected officials said
it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.

And we said,
it doesn't matter what anybody,

including the President,
does in private as long as we have jobs and the economy is good....

------------------

And someone else took that appreciation a step further
and published pictures of nude children

and then stepped further still by
making them available on the Internet.

And we said, everyone's entitled to free speech....

------------------

And the entertainment industry said,
let's make TV shows and movies that promote

profanity, violence and illicit sex...
And let's record music that encourages
rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes...

And we said,
it's just entertainment

and it has no adverse effect
and nobody takes it seriously anyway,
so go right ahead...

------------------

Now we're asking ourselves
why our children have no conscience,

why they don't know right from wrong,
and why it doesn't bother them to
kill strangers, classmates or even themselves.

------------------

Undoubtedly,

if we thought about it long and hard enough,
we could figure it out.
I'm sure it has a great deal to do with...

"WE REAP WHAT WE SOW,"

------------------

Pass it on
if you think it has merit!

If not then just discard it...
but if you discard this thought process,
then don't you dare sit back and complain about what bad shape this country is in!

In here we will surely go deeper in our fellowship whith one another.

I need prayers for my health who has been a little bit poor in the last
two years.
In the same time I bless the Lord because this time of need has
taken me much closer to my Father's heart!

I look forward ro read all the needs and blessings of all of you,
my dear brothers and sisters. God Bless you!

Heavenly Father,

I lift up my sister, MeekOne, Lord God.. Give her a word of wisdom.. and knowledge as she shares the Good News with others..

Open the ears of the ones she talks to so they can hear.. and open their minds to the wonderful gift of salvation the You offer us all through the wondrous blood of Your Son, Jesus..

God, please let others see the love of Jesus in MeekOne as she witnesses to them..
We ask this in Jesus' Matchless Name... Name Above ALL Names..:amen:


As for me, MeekOne..

Please pray that I walk in obedience to the Will of my God.. as I die to self.. so that Jesus lives more in me.. less of me.. more of Him..

and that the Holy Spirit activates my Spiritual Giftings more fully.

Thank you.. & God bless you, Sister..

brother. I'm glad to see you up and around and feeling better. I lift up your church to God in heaven. Father please get rid of this horrid spirit that is infilling some of our churches. We need Your unconditional love and acceptance not a spirit of negativity and condemnation Lord.

Give us the wisdom, strength, and understanding to handle this situation as YOU would have us handle it Lord.

In Jesus Name,
Amen
