  • 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

Hello, I started to believe in God and in Jesus back in December. And I was baptized this past Sunday. It was supposed to be a joyous occassion (and it was). From the moment leading up to it, I felt a burden that was finally lifted onced the ceremony was complete and I gave my testimony.

Basically, I feel a new burden put upon me with this baptism. This week after, I'm just not sure how to feel right now.

My job has been quite stressful. It's a sales job and most of the people in my sales group are older than me (I'm the youngest). Although that can say alot about my capabilities, I feel that a lot of stress is being put on my shoulders. Perhaps because I only graduated college last year and have been thrust into a high-tension career path ... not having much general life experience. Sometimes, I feel lacking in motivation as well as my own abilities (I've become a cynical person really)

I hope that you will pray for me to trust in God more and that he will lead me in the right direction. I feel ashamed at times, which leads me to withdraw into my shell and ward my brothers and sisters away (I already have a hard time opening up to them as friends even).

Thank you.

Brother, I congrats you. I wil share with you, my story. I was baptised last year a day before the dreaded tsunami come. I am in the sales job too. Insurance. At first it was tough as I have close-to-none experiences in this field. I complained alot.

Six month without full salary, as I have to wait they deducted the payment from my clients salary. My country government is working slowly. I never search for other job as I still putting my faith on God.

Now, each morning, I pray before I see my clients which is 100% muslim. I cannot deal with christians in my field as the products suits Muslims market.

In this field, I felt I was look down by many others. My parents didnt motivate me, so is my friends.

Now the results, I am getting better each day as I pray. I guess the prayers got accumulated and so is the God's blessing. Thanks to God, at times, I can close a deal in less then 1 mins. Later I realize I wasnt walking alone in this field. So is you, u are not walking alone. :thumbsup:
