• 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.

just wanted to say, I do read lots of the posts on here but I don't always reply. Sometimes it just seems so lame to say 'praying for you' and that's it. I mean, I know it's not as useless as it sounds LOL, but it just feels funny sometimes.

So, many of you are in my prayers, and I bet I'm not the only one who does that sometimes, so we're probably all getting prayed for even more than we know. :pray:

does anybody else do this?

I do and you are right sometimes the words just seem shallow.

I think of it the same as if I were at a bible study with someone. Someone might pray outloud and someone might not but still be praying or pray later.

Someone I put a post on for a prayer request was so moved that strangers would be praying for him. He never saw the site, or read the prayers, or saw that people said they'd be praying, or realized that people pray and don't post. He was just moved that people were praying for him.
