• 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.

  • 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 keep thinking about someone that im not close to but from what ive seen of them i think id get on with them.
Now when i think of them i feel the Holy Spirit draw close to me.
Is that spiritually significant ?

You might want to be careful about making decisions based on feelings.

Jer_17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

The primary way God has to let us know what he wants is his word (the bible). Too many people get themselves in trouble by seeing in a feeling about what they want, the hand of God.

I suppose i should just be patient and not do anything.

Be friends. Being a friend to others is where the joy and reward in life is always found. Eliminates complications.

Beware feelings, they lie. But if you are going to talk about God or read the Bible together with a friend, that is a good thing.

Focus on God and He will guide your steps. Focus on feelings and we are distracted from God's guidance.

His Holy Spirit is already in a faithful Christian. He only draws us to our Father who is in all truth and not flesh which is weak.
Blessings
