• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi everybody,
I'm new here and want to introduce myself. I've read this forum several times and have usually found good feedback to the questions and comments of others. My faith is growing, but how can I be sure I am doing everything I need to do? I struggle, but I haven't given up. Many things have brought me to this moment in my life. I don't believe it is by chance that I have found myself trying to strengthen my faith. God has looked after me in this life and guided me to this point. I want very much to turn my life and my will over to God.
in love and prayers to all,
cometomorrow

Welcome to CF cometomorrow! The road we walk is very difficult, and mostly our God silently and patiently watches over us as we continually trip and stumble along the Narrow Road. We DO continue to get up and we WILL continue to be lead to the paths of Righteousness, For His Name's Sake, and rest assured His Rod and His Staff will comfort you if you deviate from the path! Trust in His Faithfullness and Everlasting Kindness, He will see you through to the end, He will Love you always and provide your every need, just seek, and knock, always.
Love in Him,
Blessed

Hi! Welcome to CF. Hope your time here is sweet. God bless you!
We cannot build a stairway to Heaven. We can only give ourselves over to God and His will and accept Christ's sacrifice and gift of grace given freely for our salvation. You can strengthen your faith by praying to God and developing a relationship with Him and by studying His Word. I will pray that you find peace.

Thank you for your kind words of support and encouragement. I will follow the narrow path and let God do for me what I haven't been able to do for myself. Taking that leap and trusting in Him is frightening but I know that rewards of peace and salvation are eternal.
Can anyone recommend a forum that I can share the current pain and growth I am experiencing in a love relationship that has shaken my foundation and has lead me to strengthen my faith?
in love and prayers,
cometomorrow

Hello and welcome to Christian Forums. I'm fairly new here too. ;)

Isn't this just the most awesome place!?! There are a lot of places to explore. First, perhaps you should check out the FAQ up in the menu at the top. You will be in the swing of things in no time at all. :)

Hope to see you posting in the forums soon. ^_^

Here are a couple tips that you may find helpful: (Orange text are links you can click)
You can quickly find message threads that you have posted on by clicking on the "User CP" link up in the top left hand side of the menu bar.

:wave: Welcome cometommorrow :prayer: I pray you find firm foundation, Jesus has said "I will never leave you or forsake you", in my 12 years as a believer I have found that promise(as well as all of Jesus' other promises) to be true.

Thank you for the many blessing and kind words of support. I feel welcome.

Last night I had a vision, a moment of clarity, I could see through the haze and the light beyond. I saw the light! I see now that mistakes I made and why I must try not to make them again. I see what I've learned from them. I will grow from them. Its like I found a key to a door that I locked a long time ago. I am trilled and anxious to step through that door and into the future, wherever it may lead.

I feel some relief, letting go. I trust in God and his plan!

Well Praise God! *I* am so very glad to hear that; I have struggled with forgiving myself of my many sins too, but we must always remember that NOthing can seperate us from His Love, it is mighty and Consuming, and He is more then we could ever dream or imagine!
I praise Him for Shining His Marvelous Light to Light your path!

In His Love,
Blessed
