• 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.

please pray for me and my family. my brother keeps putting himself out for potential dating, even though he often denies it, the things he is doing is commonly considered dating type things. I am trying to help him out but I am very disturbed at how he is going about some things, I can't explain it all but I just don't see maturity in him for dating right now (he is 20). I am older than him and a single mom, and our family does not have healthy marriages as an example anywhere, and I don't see him making good judgments at all in this area, he seems to be chasing lots of girls and whoever replies he is open to, and sometimes even using evangelism it seems as a cover for impure motives.

Please pray for him to have pure motives and stop trying to be so pushy about dating, it is really disturbing me to watch what he is doing. and if I am wrong, I appreciate God's correction, I just don't see good things here, and our parents are kind of goading him to pick just about any girl, not very wise. he is trying to be christian, but I see a lot of problems and immaturity still. Please pray for us, and I had to share my frustrations so thanks for listening. and I have told him all these things, he isn't really taking my advice too seriously though it seems. I hope he is hearing me and really trying to do the right thing, not just fleshly thing which is all I see at this point

Lord You know this situation. Please help this young man to become more wise in his decision making. Help his sister. Thank You for her being a handmaiden unto You. Lord Please watch over this situation and don't allow this young man to do things that he should not do. I ask that You protect him in all his ways in Jesus Name AMen
