• 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.

GOD put this on a church sign for me to see:

"Faith is the refusal to panic"!!!

i am in a situation which makes me want to panic. i have given it to JESUS several times. (i keep taking it back and worrying about it; as soon as i am aware that i'm doing that i give it to JESUS again.) Whatever happens will be HIS will ... and since there isn't really anything i can do about it i am in the wonderful position of having to trust HIM.

Please pray that HIS will will indeed be done in this situation.

I too give my situations up to Jesus..

I picture my problems like helium balloons.. I see them going up.. up.. to the Lord..

And then there they are again.. and I wonder how that happened..

Then I looked at my wrist.. and my "balloons" - my problems - had strings attached.. and tied to my wrist.. I gave them up.. but then pulled them back down to me.. So I took my "spiritual" scissors and clipped those strings..

For me, it was a control issue.. silly me thought that I knew more than God did about my situation.. that I could handle it better..

God said - Silly Little Woman.. *smile*

Focus your eyes.. and your trust.. on Him..

God bless you, Bro..

I feel bad when I don't give my
Things over to God and that things
Under my watch fail usually
But not with God as things under His control
Never fail at all even if it isn't what we
Want them to be!
