• 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

How is everyone?
I'm Chris 33 from Liverpool UK
I've been feeling depressed and very lonely and I admit I lost faith in everything.
My heart has been broken.
But this morning I prayed for forgiveness and asked for the Holy Spirit to fill my heart.

I have come here as I would like to be at peace with my self and chat to people with stronger faith than me and willing to learn and would like to heal and restore my Faith.
Also looking to join a church in Liverpool in the future as I have never been a member of one before (apart from a week in my whole life).

Welcome Chris. The way to restoration can be hard, but it starts with a decision. Quit believing feelings, your own opinions of yourself, and preconceived notions about life in general. Make God's word your authority. Focus on who the Lord Jesus is and what He has done for you through His death and resurrection. As you do, hope will rise. Then you will have something concrete in which to put your faith. Many of God's servants go through periods of depression. When you are in that dark place, keep going. There is light ahead.

Hi Chris.

Bless you for reaching out.

May your journey to truth in Him be blessed.

Lively loving fellowship is a must - and prayerful reading of the Word.

Keep the thread open and feed back your progress - folks will be praying.

Welcome Chris! Here is a quote that resonated me when I first had my conversion.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
(Psalm 34:18)

I welcome you as well, ChrisT_uk. How is the state of Christianity in Liverpool. Are there many churches in your area? I am just curious.

If your heart was broken, faith can help you heal. Consider talking to a pastor even if you do not go to that church and just pour out your heart in a casual conversation. Reading a book about healing your heart might also help. Here are two free download resources from a Christian ministry called Focus on the Family that might help you. Overcoming My Wounded Heart at Overcoming My Wounded Heart (Digital Product) and God’s Hope for Wounded Hearts at God's Hope for Wounded Hearts (Digital Product).

I am not in UK, but friends once told me there are some wonderful Bible centered fellowship there. Look for one and get into good company. God bless you.
