• 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 against bitterness

Hi! If anyone has a minute to pray for me, I would appreciate it.

This weekend my ministry team will be hosting an event, and I am doing a lot of work on it. My other team members are not stepping up to do hardly anything, even though I have specifically asked for their help. The only other person who works hard not be there for the actual event.

It kills me to see capable men sitting on their duffs contributing nothing. :scratch:

People not taking responsibility is a sore subject in my life, so I am starting to feel bitter. Praise God that He has done a lot to make sure this event will come off well and is to His glory, but I also need help in keeping my attitude Christ-like.

Thank you for your prayers.

I don't envy you in this project. There seems to be a special trick to motivating people, and I'm not sure how to accomplish it. Since I have given my heart to Jesus, I have become very humble and tend not to speak out in the masses. I know others take advantage of this at work. I will pray for you that all goes well. Remember, if the Lord is not in it, it will not matter anyways. If it is guided by the Holy Spirit, how could it not succeed. Anything that is not of the Lord, will burn as a flash in the pan. I will pray that you are taken seriously by others around you and that they will come to your aid when you call out to them.

I just wanted to thank you all for your prayers. I've been on an emotional rollercoaster today, and it has shown me that I have very low trust and respect for men. I expect the worst, and when they live "down" to my expectations, I feel like I'm beating my head against the wall.

I will need to bring this to the Lord. In the meantime, I really appreciate the encouraging prayers. :pray:
