  • 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

I need prayer, please

Thank you for your encouragement and optimism. I don’t have a pastor, or a church, so I’ve been kind of fellowshipping in digital communities, but it has felt hollow. There are folks on YouTube full of valuable information, though, who tend to give edifying words.
Hello again The Quiet In Christ, this is a tough time (obviously) to find either a pastor or a church, but it is very important for you to do so (IMHO) when it becomes possible to do so again. God never intended for His children to attempt to live in this world w/o each other. You need us, and we need you too :) .. e.g. 1 Corinthians 12:12-31.

In the meantime, you may find these links useful if you are looking for excellent, online Christian teaching. Most of these are short (under 30 min) as they are meant to fit within a 30 min radio broadcast time slot, but Elisabeth Elliot's are the very shortest, coming in at just over 12 min (as her broadcasts are meant to fill a 15 min time slot on the radio). Most have archives as well, so that you can hear a sermon or lecture on the topic you are studying if you'd like to. Enjoy :)

Well you can always get alone someplace, I sometimes like to go out into creation and have found Him to meet me there more than once. But even in your room for instance, set up a place for prayer where nobody bothers you and pour your heart out to the Lord. Tell Him you feel ill equipped, tell Him you need His strength in all times but especially in this time. Turn your family members issues over to Him and tell Him to show you when the time is right that either you speak to this person or that they by divine appointment happen to meet someone else who speaks to them about Jesus Christ. These things can and do happen but you must trust in the Lord. regardless what it looks like just tell Him you are trusting in Him.

I believe we are living in a time where people are being tested during this virus outbreak. We are either for God and all in with Him or we falter. Make your choice today, He's waiting for you, believe His promises and trust Him with all your heart mind and soul, then tell Him that. Lets see what happens out of that !! He can take the worst looking scenarios and turn them around for good. But you have to believe it. Amen ? Amen
