• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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

I have thoughts likewhen I give up a sin that I have been struggling with. God is actually making me that way so I can see Him and then be Judged. I think this way because my OCD is flaring and I gave up the porn but there are still hurdels in my life I want changed. I'm just afraid that If I change them will I have to see God then be rebuked by Him. Oh well like seajoy says don't let the OCD bite on ya.:preach:

Oh well, I have GRT news that I'm going to have to share later but, God is GRT God is good and He works in the lives of many ppl who trust Him. I'm blessed in many ways and If God wanted to see me He would see me plain as that. He just works in my life to take out the things that conflict me and takes care of all the rest.Blessed is God Almighty for His provision in my life.

If you have Jesus you don't get into judgment. Just grace, mercy and love ... there is also discipline, according to the bible, but this occurs by letting us have the same troubles that Jesus encountered, so we understand our need for God and how God is always true in His opinions. Don't view the situation of christians in the same way that you would view the situation of unbelievers. Unbelievers force God to judge because they reject the offer of grace. This offer of grace is free, receive to the full and be thankful, and move from there. You're not required to work up a righteousness, if you believe in Christ HIS righteousness is given to you. A good course of action is to let God define and decide all things, while what you do is just to experience life, to try to understand well, to learn, to grow and to be happy, to suffer sometimes and to love everyone like Jesus loves them. But again, this love doesn't mean a work, it is a strength by which to face life ... it makes enemies into friends, and wouldn't you have friends rather than enemies? Which is worse? Care for understanding and you will see how christianity is the easier and more reasonable path as opposed to other paths. Bear temptation and eventually Jesus will provide an escape. Temptation is the only real trouble in the christian path, but the bible says we are blessed when we can bear it out, and that God won't let it go over the limit of what we can handle.
