  • 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 my friend

I have a friend that I known for 15 years or so. He has cerebral palsy, which means that he has to have crutches to walk. He is in his mid 60's, living alone in an apartment, no children or wife, and works a minimum wage job. Over the years, he helped someone out and acquired a tremendous amount of debt. He is trying to pay it off as best as he can.

Lately, he went to the hospital due to his back. He says that he cannot walk and his back is hurting him. After a while, it seems to be better, but the doctors cannot find anything really wrong with him. He says that he has to get back to his apartment and back to his job, but he feels like he might lose either one or both because he has been away for a month. He keeps saying that the church or the people around him don't help him, and he feels that God has abandoned him. Please keep him in your prayers. His name is Richard. Thank you.

Gracious Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus,
Please preserve Richard’s apartment and job for him please. Help to find an advisor or advocate to help him get Social Security benefits in addition to his wages. I pray for Your hand of healing for his back. Help him to feel better, and send people who will help him.
In Christ’s Name,
Amen

Wow, so many people to pray for! Where do I even begin?

I will pray for your friend as well. I once knew a kid years ago at my second church when I was a little girl and he also had cerebral palsy. He was the brother of Amanda, one of my childhood friends. Poor guy couldn't even form a correct sentence to talk to me. I had so much compassion on him. Wonder where he is at today...if he's even still alive.
