• 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

Greetings

Howdy. I've been a Christian on and off throughout my life, but only began taking it seriously after experiencing particularly debilitating mental illness... anxiety, panic disorder, and intrusive thoughts. I have a good knowledge of many religions but I haven't found anything that can compare to the potent medicine that is the Bible and belief in Christ. I believe God has let me go about things my own way for years, much to my detriment, and then offered me a way back to the light. I've learned to evolve and shed many bad habits through the years, and with His help will continue on this path.

I don't bother too much with denomination or sect, but rather try hard to keep the Greatest Commandment and Golden Rule foremost in my mind throughout the day. I'm a big fan of memorizing Bible passages and repeating them to myself throughout my day.

Peace to you all.

Welcome to CF Billy.
I commend your courage. The strength we have is from the Lord. He is faithful and true and He will never fail us even though we fail Him at times. He understands our weakness and understand that His power is made perfect in our weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:8-10
