  • 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 All.

I found this forum and reading through the posts, it looks like I'm at the right place. This past year has been somewhat terrible for me, experiences and situations from my childhood left me on a downward spiral. And just recently I've found myself wanting to find god, only I don't know how and if I'm doing it right :-/ or where to start. I hope I can find something here and and look forward to speaking to some if not all of you.

Thanks I advance.

Hi Slimzeee,

I'm new here too and would like to welcome you. I too have been through some very challenging times in the last few years and look forward to sharing with you and the others some of my struggles. God knows who and what you need as well as when and I'm sure this is the right place for you to develop a healthy understanding and relationship with God

Hello and welcome! God already knows what you are and have been going through-He is just waiting on you! I would guess that by the fact you are seeking Him, He has already started working on your heart. The easiest thing is just begin a conversation with Him through prayer-does not have to be anything formal or fancy-just talk to Him. A good place to begin in the Bible is the book of John. If you do not have a Bible, there are many on line (biblegateway.com is a fantastic site with many translations of the Bible. The NIV version is written in todays english and is very easy to understand). I will pray for you too!

Tp522, thank you so much I shall have a look at that website :). It's weird because it all just seems abit confusing at the moment and I don't know who to turn to or to ask for guidance and direction. Which is what I was hoping for on here, for ages I have felt hopeless and lost and just want to fit in and belong somewhere. And for some reason it feels like I'm being shown this way, it's all I've thought about for the past week. And now I just want to understand it all.

Thank you for any help you can give, and thank you for the blessings.

Welcome :) Hope you enjoy your time here. God gave His Son, Jesus - for us! Jesus gave His life for us! and we give our life to Jesus, to God. It's so good to serve the Lord because He helps us even in the hard times, and He is always with us and will never forsake us. God bless you, praying for you. And hope you have a great Christmas. :)
