• 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.

How do you know you are called to ministry?

Coffeeswirls and Jon_ are correct. There are a rather large number of Hebrews how routinely read the posts on Christian Forums. For many saying the name YHWH or title for G-d out loud is a violation of the Commandment not to take the name of the Lord in vain. The Hebrew term "vain" means "empty" or "without reason." Not wanting to be a stumbling block or to provide any reason for offense to our Hebrew friends I write G-d and YHWH this way so that they won't inadvertantly commit what they observe as sin.
How very Romans of you. I like it. I'll incorporate it into my posts. Thanks. :thumbsup:

To answer the original question:

I believe that you have a yearning to serve. I believe a calling is something which you can't get away from no matter how far you may run. I've tried as I may to not get into medicine and it continues to "call" me. Along with a "calling" to serve G-d..."it just be calling me man..." (New Jack City) :sorry:
