• 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.

Hi Everyone,
I have been have been having some problems at school, that make me feel very guilty... things that I didn't even do, that I've been accused of doing. I dont know if I'm feeling guilt or humiliation, but I feel as if in not making myself clear to my superiors at school, and that I have disgraced myself in notdoing so. But I think God is giving me this experience that I may realize that I feel nothing when I offend God and willingly break his commmands, and I feel anguish when I offend someone in a human position of power. I ask that you pray for me to feel this way when I disobey God, instead of when I look bad in front of the people that I respect. If I could feel that way about my own sin, it would force me to live in his image, which I believe is what I need right now.
Thank you for your prayers. God Bless You.
Sean C.

ps- :sorry: I also ask that you pray my situation at school is resolved quietly. Thanks.

Well right of the top of my head I want to say bless you child for wanting to be Holy. Yet I would like to tell you also if you live by the law you are judged by the law. Now what do I mean? We are saved by grace in the Lord Jesus. It is not by works we get any better in the site of God. It is by faith we are saved and that has nothing to do with anything we try to do. It was paid in full at the cross of calvery. You my child need to rest in Christs work done for you. Guilt can be very false, which is not of God. You'll know it's God if you can go to His word and two or more agree with you about what you speak of. I'am just try'n to free you of some condamnation on your self. Poeple will always pull your chain and say things about you, for we are children of God. We are considered strange, aliens to the unbeleivers. Best thing is to not threw your pearls brfore the swing, for as the Word say it will come back at you. You can read about me and know I'm not a spring chicken when it comes to matters of the heart.
Jesus died to free us from condamnation. The theft Satan comes to seek and take that away from us. Stand firm unmovable and abound in and through the Blood of Jesus friend. In our words enjoy, rejoice and being glad for if you are free you are free in deed in Christ!

Sean -- I also was VERY INSECURE when in school. A tall, gangly kid, that could do nothing right, said all the wrong things, worried about the repercussions, and usually only opened my mouth just long enough to *change feet*. :(

Praying that you have the confidence, and courage to face up to situations that happen across your *doorstep*, as you travel this road of life -- and not be ahamed of your decisions. :)

David

Lord be with Sean and that he needs to not feel guilty as you are the God of all forgiveness and that you will give him the strength and support to give him the right words to say and that he is only human and makes mistakes as we all sin and fall short of the glory of the Lord. Help him Lord in thy name, amen!!
