  • 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. i just wanna testify God's faithfulness. I ve been suffering from depression, anxiety and disordered eating for some time. I'm not totaly free from them, but looking back at how i pulled thru it all, i cannot help but praise the Lord.

its been so hard, these years of struggling with so many fears. even though i have the Lord, i still am gripped with fear throughout most of the day. i believe that the Lord is doing something. even though it is hard to believe. even though i feel as if my body is producing so much adrenaline i feel that im gonna burn out. i know that He who is in me will finish the work He has started.

to those who are struggling with fears that cause them to not live a fulfilling life, my heart goes out to you. all i can say is that the Lord knows. the Lord cares, and He loves you despite all the pain that keeps you from crying out even. even though you may cry urself to sleep every night, He is still with you. God loves u, i love u too.

to those who have never been thru any kind of mental illness i can only pray that u treat those with phobias of any kind without judgement, and with compassion. our problems are real, and we deserve to be treated with respect.

thank you for reading. i love you. Jesus loves u. i love You Jesus!

Fear is indeed a very strong kingdom of the enemy.

I understand and have fought this myself. One of the keys I have learned is dwelling on the love of God and trusting in him. Here are a few great verses.

1 John 4:16-19 ISV
(16) We have come to know and believe in the love that God has for us. God is love, and the person who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
(17) This is how love has been perfected among us: we will have confidence on the day of judgment because, while we are in this world, we are just like him.
(18) There is no fear where love exists. Rather, perfect love banishes fear, for fear involves punishment, and the person who lives in fear has not been perfected in love.
(19) We love because he first loved us.

Isaiah 26:3-4 AMP
(3) You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.
(4) So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].

When the devil seems to be screaming in my ear. These two verses are something I stand on.

I am praying for you, beloved sister in Christ.

Ron
