  • 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,some of you may be famaliar with me,I have had computer problems and I haven't beeen on for about a month.Praise the Lord,God is good.I just got back from an encounter,our church holds them.When I went for this 3 day retreat the devil had me so bound,I was on my way as the mighty woman of God that I was called to be,but bound in so many ways.I arrived with eating dissorder,self-doubt,and many other feelings.I have been in counseling and taking medication for 21 years of my life for mental issues.We left on a Friday and returned on a Sunday,I went there on many medications and came home set-free and deleivered!!I am no longer taking any medicine for depression,anexity,sleep dissorders,and others.I never thought that I would be set free.I always believed that I would have to take medication for the rest of my life,I returned home and threw all medicine out,it's been almost a month with no withdraws.I'm sleeping when I couldn't.I thank God for all he's done in my life,he has raised me up,molded me,and set me on fire like I have never been before.I would just like to let others know that YOU can be set-free,you may think "not me"but yes you,have faith,believe the word and promsises that God has sent forth.Watch him move mightly in your life,I thank the Lord for all he's done.

Praise Jesus! Your post and your experience bring joy to my day!

I have suffered with a lot of the same things as you (eating disorder, depression, panic attacks, borderline personality disorder, etc.) to the point of being hospitalized, attempting suicide and hurting a lot of people in the process.

Since finding Jesus (truly, and really accepting Him into my heart...i've been 'christian' all my life in a nominal sense) I finally have hope, and I know that i'm loved no matter what. I don't want to hurt myself and I have the strength to get through anything. It's amazing isn't it? I am still on medication myself and still suffer from bad thoughts and anxiety sometimes, but i'm so much better than before.

Your story reassures me that if I truly believe maybe God will heal me the way he healed you.

If you want to talk about it more, feel free to PM me. I'd love to discuss our experiences.
