• 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

App jackz, I am at a very similar place in my life. I know that God is enough and at the same time he created us to have meaningful relationships with others. This makes things difficult. I don't have the family or friends or church i once had. One thing i do know tho is if we let God's light shine through us, it will catch on with others.

Oh, and if you need someone to talk too, i'm game. I know it sounds radical but, we are brotha and sister in Christ.

Doesn't sound radical at all. Thank you for your help it means a LOT at this point. I will take you up on your offer....hopefully lol

Yea somedays I'm like it's okay I'll just draw closer to God and other days I want to punch something. It is a struggle...

I can empathize. I'm content with, if not oblivious to, being single on most days, but there are days when I see married couples in public or on Facebook and I get quite cranky.

Lately I feel as though God has urged me to stop being so stubborn in my refusal to consider dating a woman who wants children, and to try and socialize with my church friends more often. I'm having a platonic date with a young lady from church tonight. :clap:

It sounds cliche, but sometimes being around other people helps, especially other disciples.

Congrats on your platonic date. And I guess I will have to find other believers to fellowship with. Thank you

Yes I can relate to that but I mostly blame myself for my loneliness. Most of the people I know don't seem to be committed to Christ or don't believe in God at all. But I hold on to the love of God.

If you or anyone else ever want to chat I'm always willing to lend an ear :)
