• 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.

Please pray for me, I have been struggling because a part of me wants to return to paganism. But I know I need to be with Christ. Please pray for me.

Yes I can Brinny. I will do that. Thank you.

If she is helping you, and you trust her, she is an "anchor" at this time....and it is crucial that she know the struggles that you are experiencing right now.

Yes, I still am Brinny but I will pray tonight that Jesus will heal me of it.

Be honest with Jesus. Pour out your heart. Whatever is in your heart that you may have been "stuffing".

kinder to myself

THAT is what this "healing" is all about.

Just a little tid bit:

We CANNOT "love" others unless we "love" ourselves. And we CANNOT "love" ourselves until we are healed.

It just is NOT possible.

Anything else is "wishful thinking" and a disregard of the needs of the one who is wounded.

And we NEVER EVER "forgive" and/or "force" ourselves to, to "please" ANYONE because they are "telling" us to.

GOD knows when it is time. He NEVER EVER walks us into that chapter until after HE has prepared our hearts, minds, and spirits. And it's ALWAYS in HIS own inexplicable and perfect timing.

Another tidbit:

Silver, or anyone who traumatized you inexplicably, is not YOUR "burden".

Keep telling yourself this.

Praying.
