• 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

So I'm doing a little workshop at my retreat in 2 weeks about "surpassing our limits" basically what the pastor is concerned with is that the college kids are being lazy with their faith, always just doing the bare minimum. so i need some stories about people( you or someone you know) who went the extra mile in their faith and had something amazing happen.

thanks for all stories in advanced

If there are young adults that are being "lazy with their faith" it's probably because they've seen the older generations being lazy. That's for a different post though!

If you're going for historical stories Hudson Taylor and William Carey went above and beyond anything most Christians would do. D.L. Moody is another modern example.
