  • 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

My testimony isn't as inspiring as others, but I figured I'd post it here anyway. I was raised Christian, and I've been a Christian until my late 20's. I decided that God was not the God for me, and I turned to Paganism. I never really practiced, but once in a while I'd read up on magick out of curiosity, and read about some of the other Gods.

Although I felt I did get a few signs from a couple Goddesses, I never felt a connection. And things in my life were getting worse. I ended up owing the phone company $550, my group home $1000, and every night I would hear strange banging and knocking noises when I was only partially asleep.

One day I decided to just drop everything and surrender myself back to the Lord. Almost instantly, I stopped hearing the weird noises, I've been sleeping better too. And I'm sure that somehow I will bounce back from this debt. Although I still don't feel a strong connection, my family is Christian, and they're happy that I went back to Christianity. So, I think Christianity has strengthened the bond I have with my family.

Thank you for sharing your testimony. I'm glad your relationship with your family has gotten better, and I was encouraged to read about how you have found more peace in your life. I hope you continue to find peace and encouragement as you seek God throughout your days. I find that, the more I seek Him, the more He proves Himself faithful over and over again.

God bless you, friend. And I'll be praying for you regarding your finances. May He be your strength and provider in the days and weeks ahead.
