  • 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 can see clearly now!

For a long time I have been massively deceived. I looked into all forms of spirituality and had thousands of doubt's about Christianity (the religion i was born into). I had fallen away and got heavily involved in drugs for years. I had been seeking some form of spirituality but i was looking in all the wrong places. (all the acid didn't help either) if you look at some of my previous posts you might get a taste of the spot i was in. though it goes much deeper than what i had written on this forum site.

on September 28 2011, I had enough. i decided to have faith for the first time in my life. i cried out to Jesus and he delivered me from my drug addiction. I haven't used since and i don't know if you know anything about severe drug addiction but that is a MASSIVE accomplishment on Gods part. I have been seeking him whole heartedly since then and i have never been happier. i still have doubts at times but i realize that those doubts are stemming from fear which is always defeated by faith. i'm nowhere near where i want to be in my faith but God is revealing himself to me in an amazing way.

My prayer is to know the deep things of his heart. To truly know Him in the most intimate of ways. I am so thankful for what He has done for me and all i want is to know Him and live in His love.
