  • 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

Please Pray for me--again

Folks,
I'm struggling with a certain temptation again. Without going into details, it has to do with money, the lack of it or the gain of it, and ambition. I want very much to live the rest of my life under His will, and I need help knowing which way to go at this crossroad.

I need God to gently but plainly help me resolve this once and for all so I can move beyond this. I need real Biblical insight. Don't you wish sometimes that you could just sit down with God and ask Him and get a direct answer?

Please keep me on your prayer list.

I'll be praying for you lambslove. Also remember that when we are tempted, God provides a way out. He won't leave you stranded. He will show you in His way and His own time. And nothing is silly to Him that is important to you.

I'm praying!

There is a burden of care in getting riches:-

Fear in keeping them,
Temptation in using them,
Guilt in abusing them,
Sorrow in losing them,
and a burden of account at last to be given up about them.

Yet God in his providence sometimes makes good men rich men, and thus God's blessing made Abram rich without sorrow

I used to pray that God would audibly speak to me. I would say to God "Lord, you have done it before, I am not asking for anything new here." :) God did not answer that prayer, I realized I was just being lazy and was not all that interested in listening for his answer, which comes as a soft voice. Anyways, yeah, I wish I could just sit down with God and get spoon fed, that would be nice, at least once ;)

Anyways, I will pray for you. If you need council on it, make a post about the situation.
