  • 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 dont know what it is about fasting but i dont understand the point. What is the point ? Ive tried and i have been as hungry as a horse. I pray that god just pour out his presence on me and some people say a way to become closer to god is to fast. How can i Do this ?

MY BROTHER,

This Post has been here for awhile and i see that no one has responded to your question--which is a good one. i am far from an expert on Fasting, but Fastin has been an important part of my Christian walk for a few years now and, trust me, it has been a real help and blessing to me--as it can be for you.

Rather than confuse you with what little knowledge i have on the subject, may i give you a website to check out which has much good information which i'm sure will answer your questions:

MAY GOD TEACH YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW--AND MAY YOU BE BLESSED ABUNDANTLY IN THE PROCESS!

A BOND-SLAVE OF CHRIST,
ephraim
