• 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.

  • 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

I thought about this. God can give people knowledge and wisdom.

Will God probably not give me the knowledge and wisdom to do good on the exams?

Or does God still want me study? What are some detailed study tips from a youtuber or somewhere?

I prayed before the exam, and I didn't study at all.

My pastor always says to study and pray.God will help you, but you have to put in some work too.ASAP science has a video on study tips.I know a really good tip is figuring out what kind of learner you are.For example, I am a visual learner, so I tend to view videos and write notes to study.Or if you are a auditory learner, you may need to listen to a song that talks about a subject so you can study.Figure out which way is best for you.

I sincerely hope you aren't serious.

God is not a genie. God does not grant wishes as if he were a genie.

It is my belief that the best God can do for us is to help us do our best. And doing our best is predicated on our own hard work and dedication.

I can't spend my days lying on the coach eating Twinkies, Doritos, and drinking Coke and then decide to enter the Boston Marathon and then "Pray to God" for me to magically have the ability and physical aptitude to win the race...

God is not a genie.

You want to do well on the exam, then you have to study and you have to put in hard work.

I feel that college is the proving ground to turn us from children into adults. Children want everything done for them, children want to be spoonfed everything, children can't help but to see the world through the eyes of someone strapped into a high chair with a bib around their neck...

Adults realize they have to work for what they want, Adults realize that the world is a very cruel place that just doesn't care about you, Adults realize that there is no one that is going to magically grant their wishes for them...

Sorry to sound harsh, but that is also part of being an adult, that is, having the ability to listen to hard truths...
