Hey ya'll. I just registered on the boards a few minutes ago. I got saved a few years ago, but recently I feel as though I've really fallen away from Christ, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out at all. thanks.

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.

I'd work on a new start. The most effective thing I've found is reading the bible and praying everyday. Good friends help too. Work on eliminating sin in your life and strive to make Jesus first.
Read Psalm 51.
By the way, welcome to the forums!!

Oh, how He wants your return!! Let me paint a picture for you, and see if good advice shows up in it! Let's say you've been married for only a short time. Having not had much time to really get to know your husband, you leave. Now, its time to return to your marriage. You want him...he wants you. Would you return to your relationship and right away begin to do his laundry, or clean the house? I think not! I think you would fall into his arms, and then the two of you would commune together, talking, expressing love, and rebuiding intimacy between you. The laundry and housework would come in time. Does this make sense? So somewhere in this painting is the advice of pray...worship...get to know your Savior. This is His desire as well.

Thank you every one for your advice. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. I am trying to get back into church, but I have to get a ride with one of my friends b/c my parents won't go. I've also joined the Fellowship of Christian Students group at my school. I've been reading the Bible and praying a lot more also.

Hi, and welcome! 
The best advice I can give you has already been given: pray a LOT!!! Spend a lot of time with God, and read the Bible every chance you get. for me, it doesn't always matter WHAT part of scripture I'm reading. Just plain reading it seems to focus me in on God.
