  • 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.

For about half a month or so give or take, Ive been going through a desert. It’s very uncomfortable as I see myself getting weary and not really wanting to read the word. It’s hard for me to simply rest in His grace and love since I feel bad about not wanting to read the Bible, even though I know I need too. Just need some prayer. Thank you ( haven’t been on here for a while)

Isaiah 44:3 says that God will pour floods upon the dry ground.

Don't try muster up a love for God or His Word. It won't work.
Instead, start studying verses that show what Christ did for you.
When you get a revelation of how much Jesus Christ loves you, you will love Him in return.
I suggest starting with Isaiah 53 and Psalms 22.

I am pleased to meet you, the forum is a great place to be for prayer and fellowship,

Praise the Lord and thank him for all his blessings,
The lovely autumn leaves,
Food to eat,
Clothes to wear,
I pray that the Holy Spirit will flood you with the joy of the Lord as you thank and praise him. I ask the Father to make his presence real to you today.

Hi, Gabe, sometimes God takes us through deserts to test us like the Father did Jesus. I pray that you'll have His strength and, above all, know that He loves you.
