  • 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.

Hi! Just need some advice really. Before I became a christian I had been in a number of serious and intense relationships that ended in hurt disaster! Because of this I was finding it hard to trust guys or think anyone could be out there for me. When I became a christian I was going to be alone for a while untill I felt completly happy in myself but ....

There was a guy at college who I had noticed around and liked but never really said anything. He was in the year above me but decided to stay on for a year with my class. We got talking and I found that he is also a christian. We became very good friends and it was such an exciting time! We would talk for hours and have alot of things in common. I started to fall for him and little did I know he was falling for me. We ended up together for the past 4 months. It has been such a happy time. The only thing is Iv'e came to a stand still point. Iv'e been feeling confused lately whether I need to take a step back and take some 'time out' being single, as I have never really took the time to just be alone for God.

The dilemma I'm having is this...
If I end the relationship and be single and then if I'm ready to get back with the guy he doesn't want me anymore then I will have lost him and it could have been that I should have stayed with him in the first place.
Or I could stay with him and then a few years down the line wish I'd have taken time out and not be happy in the relationship!

This proberly all sounds quite confusing! Does anyone have advice?

well i have comments. Have you both ever talked about God during the 4 months with respect to the relationship? Have you both made yourself clear that God is the number 1 priority?
You sound like both of you communicate quite frequently. My suggestion is to cut down the communication so that you can "get back to God". Tell him what you want to do and why too. If you see a future with this guy, then assure him too that it's only temporary and suggest to him to do the same in this period.

Well Amzabella...


I'm going to say pray and be willing to go with what the Spirit tells you.

The thing is you may not think your ready for a relationship, love, and kissy faces (hehehe lol), but the Lord knows what is right.

On the other hand, if you feel in your Spirit that you need to first work on your relationship with the Lord before working on a romantic one, than thats what you need to do. Don't worry about him, and say "what if", because if he is meant for you, 30days-5years-20years from now destiny has it he will still be yours;)

Nothing will stop what God has planned when you follow God's Will :D


Hope that helps
