  • 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

My name is Chris from NW Ohio, i came to this forum because I have not yet joined a church and still would like to talk to people that are from there. I feel I don't do enough in my life and would love ways to change this. I have been doing some community service i do feel better after this probably need to do more but hard going about it. Also I don't want to be afraid of death anymore how do i become so one with God that my fears will go away.

Thanks,
Sorry for rambling guys,
Chris

Hi; good to see you; God bless His Word to you; for the believer, John chapter 14 and Romans 8 are very encouraging passages; John's First Epistle has assurance for the believer as a major theme.

Greetings Chris! Welcome to CF!

About how to become one with God, another member posted a similar question recently, and I suggested that one of the keys is growing closer to God by giving yourself to studying His word. The closer you get to God, the more your fears will dissipate (1 John 4:18).

But God bless! I'm sure if you stick around, you will meet some new friends who will be able to help you grow in your relationship with Christ, and strengthen your confidence in Him. :wave:

Welcome to CF Chris,

May God bless you.

I understand the fear of death, don't worry about the feeling of dying as it may only take 30 seconds of your life.

Its good to fear God though, we should be preparing to meet Him at anytime.
