• 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

Hi my name is Jenny I have newly accepted Christ, I dont have any christian friends yet so I thought this might be a good place to start. I recently joined a church in my town and bought a bible. I just dont know where to start. I am very excited about having Christ in my life now and already I feel more whole and less alone. Does anyone have advice for me?

The Gospel of John is indeed an excellent place to start. In reading any of the Gospels, I would suggest that you do two things: 1) pay special attention to Jesus, to what He says, what He does, with whom He chooses to interact, how He deals with interruptions, what He wants His disciples to learn, etc.; and 2) place yourself in the various scenes...what do you see, hear, touch, smell, experience? How do you feel about what you participate in? How does it change your thinking?

Do this, and pray as often as you can, in all kinds of prayer.

Welcome to the forum, and to the Faith!


Michael

I know that at first glance this forum may seem huge, but don’t worry, it seems that way now, but the more you explore, the smaller it gets (honest ;) ).

Once you’ve done that, why not get the feel of how to post by playing some games in the Blessings Exchange or Recreation Room.

After that you could have a look at one of the below links, I’m sure that you’ll find something to interest you :D
*******

Whichever denomination you are there is a place full of like-minded people here-Congregation Forum
If you are looking for a deeper Christian experience or wish to look more in depth into the Christian faith-Edification

thank you everyone for making me feel so welcome! I am going to my first bible study tommorow with a lady I met at the church and I cant wait! In the few short days since I have accepted Christ I have felt so much better about everything in my life! I prayed to him that I would find a job that would make a difference and also pay my rent and yesterday I was hired as a doctors assistant and patient advocate I am so happy! I feel so very blessed from all that God has given me lately and I no longer feel lonely because I can turn to him when I have a question or need support.
