  • 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.

Pray for growth

I am not one to ask for prayer very often. I usually believe
God will and He usually does answer my prayers. But today, I am asking for your prayers. I have only been saved for 7 years after 46 years of desolation and despair.
I need your prayers that God would change a raggedy, tattered, hurt, blind, unknowing, heart of dead wood, to a heart of understanding, love, compassion, and a heart that sees when it is lashing out or hurting others after being hurt or having a misguided view of things happening around me. That the I in me is replaced with Christ and His ways. That the selfish, misguided fool is crushed under foot and a new man is revealed by the removal of the scales that cover my eyes and the stripping away of the ungodly feelings of jealosy, greed, envy, and all other forms of avarice and misdirection are totally extinguished.
Thank you much and God Bless all who pray for this wretched soul.

Hey man, I kind of railed on you in another topic. As a benediction to it though I will say that I agree with you. You did hit a nerve though.

Growth. You are seeking to move forward so I believe you are on the right track. Salvation is a process over lifetime. God will make you and mold you in His time. Sometimes He puts you through things you would rather not go through, He's taking out you and filling you up with Himself. Don't sweat it. Love God and the journey you have begun with Him. That's what it's all about.
Grace.

Hi Solo,
I am praying for and with you always. It usually hurts to grow, they don't call them "growing pains" for nothing.You will get there, just be patient. Life is one growing experience after another and you have had a very harsh life so you must allow yourself the time you need to heal. everything has a time and a place and you have many people who love you very much. Just close your eyes, take a deep breath and follow God...I am praying for you always! Lots of love and blessings to you. God Bless always!
