  • 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'm so sad and confused...

Something has been happening for a few years now, and it has to do with hate and misunderstandings. The family I’m living in now believes that all Christian Artists are evil by the way they look and sound.


I'm only an early teen, and you'd think I could face mostly all of life's troubles already, I'm still not ready for it, and it has made me so sensitive that even the slightest insult or rejection makes me cry. People have totally smashed me down flat, and I don't know how to get back up!


My family dislikes Skillet the most, but then I got attached to John and Korey Cooper and they just very recently became my new family. My new family has helped me as much as they can themselves, but it's not enough. Alot of people I don't know cry and pray for me.

Anyway, I feel like this is God’s will for me, and I’m required to fight. God’s currently trying to break me free. I can feel it in my soul! I have for a year now, and it's so strong, I could scream!

Anyway, I’m just so sad and confused that my family doesn’t like Christian Artists...they brush aside the commandment “Love thy neighbor as thyself” that God issued Himself. They hate them enough to throw a rock at them. My little sister, Christina, said this to me in person, and it leaves me in worry!


All in a nutshell, its like "You're Not There" by Jaci Velasquez and "Extreme Days" by Dc Talk's TobyMac for me over here. So many people don't even care what I'm going through! I've been mocked and turned down so much because everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I'm not! I only tell them of this because I just want some help! Is that too much to ask!?

I need some counseling, I’ve come to a dead end, lonely and hurt. I’m crying over here.

Will somebody please help me? :help: :cry: :help:

Also, lamb of God, for the sake of your own peace of mind and peace in your family, it is perfectly possible to put this interest to one side, and get interested in something else. It may seem to be a big sacrifice, but if it brings peace to you and your family, it would be worth it.

I know that you can't imagine how you would live, or what you would do, but believe me, nothing is that big a deal. Put it to one side, and face the empty hours with prayer. The Lord will find something interesting and beautiful with which to console you. Explore other forms of music (e.g. Bach, Vivaldi, jazz), volunteer at the hospital, write a letter to the editor, paint the basement, go to the grocery store for your mother, make dinner, ask your sister out for a walk around the block, but whatever else you do, put an end to the (self) pity party. No more complaints, kid. You're going to heaven. You've got nothing to complain about.

Affectionately,

Lee

We're all praying for you, but I want you to know something. Have faith, be strong & praise God in all situation and circumstances. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. " Romans 6:28
