• 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 everyone, to make this short and sweet my family started going to church when I was a freshman in high school, later that year I was baptized. Through my high school career I was very active in my youth group however once I gradutated and went to college I really fell away from my faith.
I partied a lot, and engaged in all the behaviors that are associated with that, during that time I developed sever depression my drinking got out of control, and I hit rock bottom. Since that time I have come back to Jesus and am rebuilding that relationship that I once had with him. It took me a while to realize that I had gotten in so deep that he let me bottom out so I would come back to him.
While I'm not proud of my past the fact that I have it does help me when I'm working with the youth at my church, nothing they come to me with or tell me will shock me or make me judge them.

Glad to hear you came back to Jesus and you now work with your youth at your church. :clap:
