• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I've been mistreated by my dad... he's cheated on Mom many times... I used to admire him when I was younger... I wish that he could see the light, honestly. (The fact he preaches in groups without us, overseas in a compound, eats at me.)

Pray for him.

I'm sorry to hear that your dad hasn't treated you and your Mother the way he should. I'll pray about that.

It's a pointless hope, I assume, but I hope that one day he'll turn around and confess everything to me and genuinely apologize... that we'd seek God together once again.

That would be great if he could do that someday in the not too distant future. It sounds like you're somewhat skeptical that it could happen, as am I on some things like this, but it still doesn't hurt to pray about it. It's not easy to tell how God might work in your dad's mind and heart in some way or another. :cool:

I used to be a poet but instead of writing for myself, I only write to voice my raw thoughts these days. Here's my new poem.

"My father and I; we would study the Scripture
Grow closer to God despite my sheer obstinacy

But that was all a lie
All of it

Help me God"

That's a raw and honest poem. Very expressive.

I pray for reconciliation between you and your father. Amen.

Not only that, but his salvation is what I'm mostly worried about. I pray that he will recant of his hypocritical ways.

I pray for him, but also for you that you will be able to forgive him.

I am already on my way to forgiving him. I don't hold any hatred towards him, just distrust out of rational observations of what he's done.

We have all fallen short of the glory of God. We tend to only see one moment in time and apply that to all. As we know there is NOTHING our Father can not do.. and when we agree together in prayer.. as touching anything.. agreeing together.. its DONE by our Father.. praying..
