  • 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.

Hello everyone, I just found my way on here and decided to post my testimony so that others may benefit. When I was young, approximately 13 years old, I was a very disturbed individual in many ways. I was taking drugs (smoking marijuana, pills, and whatever else I could get my hands on), hacking computers, listening to very anti-Christian music (Marilyn Manson, etc.) and generally being mean towards authority figures including my parents. My family went to church growing up but I never really payed attention and I decided to rebel against it for whatever reason. I would write blasphemous things and post them online knocking religion, God, etc. I became very depressed and angry. One day I was in my room and I got this idea that the path I was on was wrong. I didn't know where it came from at the time, but I suddenly had a desire to pursue God. God slowly and surely started putting people in my life. One of my friends sent me a Bible and I started reading it. I became saved and I haven't looked back since. I am 26 years old now. I have absolutely no doubt that I would be dead or seriously messed up had it not been for God. I am so thankful for the people he has put into my life, and for the things he has shown me, taught me, and the experiences he has given me. My life hasn't always been easy, but God has always been there for me even when I don't think I deserved it. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful God. Chris

Thank you for sharing your testimony, I enjoyed reading it. I like how you said you saw God starting to put people into your life to help you, that has happened to me when I was led astray as well. Your last sentence is beautiful and no truer words have been spoken.

Hey Chris,
Your testimony reminds me of shawn mcdonald.

If you go to youtube and type is name in, he gives his testimony "Abandoned by his parents, Shawn McDonald was lost in a world of endless raves and dealing drugs. See how God gave this singer a spiritual high."

Thanks for pouring out your past.
