  • 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

We can pray, but you must be steadfast in prayer yourself.

Ephesians 6:10-18 ~ The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

May God bless you in His Merciful Love :crossrc:

Amen, we all battle this. No one is above it. For we are as filthy rags. Praise the Lord Jesus!!! That He so willingly forgives us of all our sins, and we begin to pick up our crosses and follow HIM. Holy is the name of Jesus!!
Heavenly Father please help this dear girl, Lord her battle, is our battle. We all need your strength and help in this. Please encourage her, and strengthen her.

Lately I've been tempted and tempted and sometimes I have given in to sin. Please intercede with me so that I may draw nearer to Christ and leave temptation at the door.

bless yer heart, praying with you and in agreement with you that God intercedes as only He can and that He grants you all that you need to withstand temptation and to, especially in the most difficult of moments, to seek His face and bring ALL that you are struggling with to Him. Father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen.

When we continually give in to sin our conscience is clouded and we become virtually blind to the truth that we have grace to be victorious in every trial; it is true that we may fight that problem all our lives and it won't be easy but it's also true that we serve a mighty God who works in us. Pray that God heals you of this spiritual blindness and any other harm inflicted by sin and that He helps you not only see but set your eyes on the glory before you as Christ did.
1 John 2:11
11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
Philippians 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
