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 Jamie,Hi,
My name is Jamie and I'm 23 yrs old. I have a 2 yr old son and I'm engaged to be married, although I'm not sure when that will be because times are tough right now and we had to use are wedding money for bills.
Anyways I was saved about four months ago. I was on the internet looking at some conspiracy websites cuz I used to be into the whole alien thing lol and I some how came across a website about sin and how I needed salvation and it broke me and I ended up asking for forgiveness.
My life has completely changed, not that long ago I was constantly going out, drinking, smoking, and lieing to my fiance, now the thought of doing any of those things makes me sick to my stomach. God is so amazing and I'm so thankful to him every day for saving a terrible undeserving person like me.
Since giving my life to christ I've pretty much lost all the friends I did have and I'm hoping to make some new ones on here
You don't need those old friends if they won't support you, or if they might drag you away from God. I believe you will find plenty of friends here, and hopefully at your church also. That's great that your fiance will go to church with you!
Glad you found this place!

Hi my name is Misty. I'm trying to live a Christian life. My husband use to go to church with me but now he don't. We are of different faiths. It's almost like I'm fighting the devil. I want a Christian family more than anything.

Whatever you're going through, there is probably someone else here who has gone through it already, or is going through it now. You are not alone.

Hi, I have a husband of 14 years who is unsaved yet thinks he is. He doesn't mind me taking our two children to church or my being involved in youth ministry as long as it does not affect him. I would like to join this thread if it is ok as I am often made to feel like a second class Christian at church because he won't come.

My situation is not much different, however my husband has now taken an interest in how "our" church is doing. He still won't come to services, but he considers it his church too.
On the other hand I have become a valuable member of our church, involved in ministries, etc. I no longer feel second class.

Hi y'all... I'm Renee... my DH & I have been together about 4 1/2 years, married for 2 1/2... one dog, no kids.
I've been going to church my whole life, been saved since the age of 6... my DH was similar. In the beginning of our relationship we went to church often... then he just quit going... he'll still go on Easter and Christmas but only for appearances' sake I think... he informed me a few months ago that he'd turned agnostic, which was a major blow to my faith but I'm recovering and trying to get back into church and reading the Bible... he definitely doesn't have a problem with my faith, as long as I don't make him go to church or anything.

You are very much not alone in this type of story. I have a farmer friend who is in this situation. I am glad to hear that you are picking up your Bible and reading God's word.

IrishGrace,
You are welcome here! Feel free to join in on our forum, we tend to use the Check-In thread to keep in touch with the things going on in people's lives, its been a bit patchy over the holiday season, but I expect it to return a bit more to normal (whatever that is) now that the holidays are over again for a while!
I'm sure if you peruse the older threads you will find pointers to help you in your plight, but if not (and i know there are a lot of posts here) feel free to post a question and we will be happy to answer.
Be blessed in this safe forum
Pete

HI! My hubbie and I have been married for 7 years. We have two children a five year old girl (Nov) and a three year old boy (June). I was raised in the church, but lost my way in college & after. I ALWAYS BELIEVED, but didn't always attend church or make the best decisions. My DH was raised without the curch and does not believe. He is a really good person, but believes you can get into Heaven (if there is one - he doubts) just because you are good. He cannot accept that bad people can accept Christ and be forgiven for their aweful sins. He also cannot accept that God would allow such bad things to happen, especially to children. He is not supportive of any church or religion. He even makes fun of me and my Bible study calling us Bible bangers. I try to mention religion as cautiously as I can due to this. On Sundays, he is really mean to me after church. I think it is subconcious. When we are away & I cannot attend church, he is fine. I guess I will end - sorry for the book!
