• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. 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.

I've been a believer my whole life. I get blessed daily, but I occasionally wonder what more I could do for the Lord. I start feeling kind of stagnant. This makes me think of the following verses (KJV):

John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

John 14:13 13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If we focus on the Lord and allow his Spirit to fill our hearts, and we live as the bible teaches us, then through faith, God will guide us on the path he has willed for us. If we ask him we shall receive.

It can sometimes be difficult. Too often I am my own stumbling block. I tend to focus on things of the world rather than God in my spare time.

I believe that you just have to rely on Him and keep listening to His calling with open ears. Christ WILL show you where you need to be in life, you just have to wait and be open to His calling! He never lets His people down! I can promise you that...

I feel like I've been wandering around for awhile, but want to get some direction in my life. How does one find out their calling from God for their life?


God tells you and prepares. Sometimes it's the thing you would do for free and not think its work. Seek God but, never worry because its a process and you have to be fully trained. God never sends out to do a job unless He has equipped you with everything you need and the knowledge is key but, it's on by experience and that takes time to get. Stay Blessed!

All The Glory Will Always Be Given To God!
