  • 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

Updates on a couple of recent prayer requests----


1) My friend Carrie safely delivered a son, Elijah Samuel, on Tues. Mother, baby and Father are doing well, but tired.

2) Heather and Paul the missionary bear returned from South Africa on Thursday after a very rewarding and successful mission trip.

Thanks for the prayers that were said for my friends. :hug: :kiss:

Please pray for my job search. I am employed at the moment but there are some things in the works that are causing me to seek out other employment. To go into detail here would take up most of the forum! I am also trying to seek direction if I should stay in my field or look into other possibilities. For awhile I have had some type of feeling I should be in missions or some type of ministry position. I am not sure exactly where that will lead, but I am praying that God will open the doors and that I will be bold enough to enter in. My devotion reading this morning was from Joshua..."Be strong and courageous!" Certainly advice I needed to read.

Thanks!

Thanks for the prayers all! :hug: And a selfish plea to keep them coming! Some recent news is forcing me to step up the job hunt. Looks like I will be looking to move as well. Hard decisions to make.....

:prayer: for Chris. Knee surgery can be rough. Hope things will go smoothly!

Lord,

I lift up Dana to your care as she faces surgery soon. I pray that she may be comforted by your love at this time and that you may guide all those who will care for her while she is in hospital. I ask Lord, grant her a swift and full recovery.

I also pray for Mike, Stephanie and Elizabeth. Help them through this difficult time. May they know that you are with them and that the thoughts and prayers of others are with them and Dana.

Through Jesus Christ, your son, our Lord

Amen :prayer:

I would like some prayers to help see me clearly through the stage of discernment I am currently in. I think I know where God wants me to go, and in fact he's beginning to open up opportunities, small right now, for me to begin heading in that direction, but I'm not sure I want to go there and I need to work on that.

I have been without a job for these past 2 years. Today (10/05/04) I have an interview with a local mission. Pray that God's will be done.

Pray for the Holiness of the church. Our very souls are under attack daily in the later hours. Lift up your heads my brothers and sisters, our redemption draws near.

Pray that we might face the days with bravery, with love, and in fulfillment of our great commission to tell the world of His great love and the freedom of knowing Him.

Pray for those near Mt. St. Helens also, especially my son and his family, as the ash and smoke is sure to be bad for them.

Pray for the Terrorists, especially those in Iraq, that they may truly see the Lord Jesus Christ, and know He is the only way to know God.

Grace and peace my friends

Some of you may remember when I asked for prayers last spring for the teacher at my son's school who lost a baby. Recently I found out she is pregnant again. Today I found out that early this week she went to the hospital due to some spotting/bleeding. They stitched her closed, but she started having contractions. They stopped the contractions with medication and ordered her to bed. Complete bedrest for the rest of her pregnancy--and she isn't due until March! Please pray that she will be good and comply with the doctor's orders. She is a very energetic, always on the go type person, so being stuck in bed will not be easy for her. Pray also that she safely delivers this child. I know she will be a great Mom.

PS--I am not planning to make her another prayer shawl. She has the one I made in the spring. I'd much rather make her a baby blanket!
