• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

This site may or may not have made me take a huge nosedive in my faith this week. This last week hasn't been good for me. Nothing will cheer me up. Just plain nothing. Except getting off the website.

This time, I won't be changing my mind.

Sometimes when we look for a reason to why all of this is happening, we have to ask ourselves, who benefits? Who benefits by me feeling this way? Who benefits when I leave the fellowship of a mostly Christians forum? If there is one that benefits from all of this why would you let that one win? You know the truth of your own life. You know what you experienced months ago.. No one can take that way from you. And if that be true, and I believe you know that it is, why not fight. I was about to retire for the night when I saw this, so I just had to drop off a few words. You know what you have to do. I trust that you will read all that I have not written in this post. Be Blessed in Jesus Holy Name.

This was a great post! It's exactly what I needed to hear.

Mostly, I am here because I love God and there are some really great people on these forums!

Yes, I think most people are good. But I got left out of something and mistreated (I felt) by certain people. I'll forgive them, but I won't talk to them anymore.

Don't take anything personally on here my friend. Some will try to upset you, just like any other place. Just ignore them. Put them on ignore.

God bless you

Sometimes we have to realize that people are wounded and are doing things they don't want to do. Stephen cried ''Father forgive them, they know not what they do.'' When people hurt us, they typically don't know what they're doing. I'm not perfect in this area but I know this to be true.
