• 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

I'll post mine. I operate in 3 of the fivefold ministry gifts of the Spirit. Two are to come later when God uses me to plant a church (Pastor and teacher) These are things I'd rather not carry about as titles here because 1. There are designated chaplains already assigned here to minister to peoples spiritual needs. 2. I would rather avoid debate which typically occurs when you get in certain contexts of CF (everyone's got an opinion)

i'm also very patient. which contrary to a lot of charismatics who will talk of all the signs and wonders God does thru them, is not the first sign of an apostle.

What gifts do you feel the Spirit has given you?

I'm not sure what mine are.

there's slight differences (depending on who is listing them) best way to find out which ones we have imo is by praying and starting to exercise them. i've tried doing things in other areas and found out quickly that they werent for me. I believe the internet has assessments for spiritual gifts that help determine which ones you might have.

I was always told... you should pray and ask God what your gifts are and what He wants for your life and He'll reveal it.

Guess I should ask.

Yea thanks, that's what I'm doing, I'm pretty much seeking His will for my life because I don't really have a ''vision'' for my life yet.

I'm in the same boat. Trying to do what I know what to do and just try to let God put everything in place.

Advice: If you are going to give blood, eat a steak two days before donating and go in very hydrated. The steak will increase your iron but it takes two days ... and being hydrated makes it easier to find a vein and you will finish sooner.

I have lots of advice to give about traditional art, digital art, and sewing, and also a little about writing. I'm always happy to share what I've learned from my experiences, but so far I haven't met many people who wanted advice on those things here.

As for my spiritual gifts, I don't know which ones I have for the most part. I believe I have the gift of celibacy, but at the same time I don't have the courage to reach out to others.

If you plan to smoke a punchy Cuban cigar - a bigger one, say, with a 60-odd ring gauge, then slam a sugary drink and eat some chocolate about twenty minutes beforehand (preferably on a full stomach too). I once experienced "the reversal of fortune" in London during my early days, after I went in a bit unprepared with one of my first biggies.

Nicotine stimulates the central nervous system, causing a very sudden drop in glucose. It's so sudden in fact, that the effects come on quicker than the depletion itself. It's quite possibly the worst feeling in the world. The nausea is actually so shocking, that it turned me (of all people) whiter than milk and had me trembling for about a quarter of an hour.

I guess my gift is to make the mistakes that you don't have to make. I'm one of the crash test dummies of the world...
