• 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

For my mum

not sure if this is the wrong section, but my mum has terminal breast cancer and I visited her today. she cant stay awake, she has broken ribs from bone cancer and fluid in her lungs. I lost it after I visited her today and have cried constantly. I have work tommorow and I dont know if I can face it. I dont know why God is allowing this to happen or what good can come of it.

...it hurts to hear that, Ben. I've been through something similar, and I'm very sorry this has come about for you to face. My prayers and love are with you. If I could be there with you, I'd just put my hand on your shoulder and sit there in silence with you as you deal with this.

I think the Lord is taking care of her.

Romans 8:28 says that all things work together for good to those that love God.

Ben your pain must be deep now. I ve been there myself, sometimes we simply don't know why this has to be. But because of the awful fall and curse we are under sin and death. However Christ trampled down death by His perfect death. He is with you at this time. He came down to suffer as we do, to partake of what it is to be human. Fully human,. Remember we have a good God despite what you see your mother going g through, He will carry her and you through. You Will see the glory of the Risen Lord and that glory will overshadow this suffering so much it will not even be comparable. Bless you brother, praying for you both,
