• 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

My minister at my church hasnt been acting like himself latey hes been very rude to people and uncaring of there feelings and talking to people about the counciling sessions hes had. What should i do

Pray for him.
He must be going through something tough right now. And try to resist the temptation to condemn him to others through gossip. This is a time for mercy, prayer and strength on your part. Pastors are people just like us.....they have marital, financial and health problems. And unfortunately, their lives are on a stage for all to see...not something I'd enjoy myself :o

Be blessed

Are there any other symptoms that you have noticed? You could very well be discussing a physical condition. I would sugest talking to him discretely about your concerns. If he doesn't respond, try again, but with a deacon or elder along with you.

And of course be praying for him. We should all be lifting up our Pastors and their families daily in prayer.

Excellent, biblical and appropriate advice.

He doesnt stay after church as long as he used to to talk to the congregation.
