  • 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

Do you have someone difficult or toxic in your life? I do right now. I've tried to distance myself from her because she's always bringing me down, but she always finds me. I noticed that I complain and gossip more when I'm around her. She will say something that really gets me riled up and angry at someone or something and I have to catch myself and say... oh.... that's the devil stirring up trouble! Stop it! So, instead of avoiding her, I have decided to try and ask her about anything positive that happened this week or change the subject to something funny or light n positive.

I pray for the Lord to help me be kind to her. She's had nothing but negativity all of her life and I don't think she knows how to be anything else. Lord, help me be a good example and to show her that despite her troubles and trials, she can still rejoice in salvation and Your goodness. She can find happiness and blessing instead of complaining and whining. Please help me be a light when she's down and give her comfort so that she can focus on what's important and not what's trivial. Above all, give her peace.

I hope that all of you who are enduring someone like this stay strong and remember to be kind. If you have some words of wisdom on how you're gracefully dealing with someone toxic or difficult, please share, and of course, let's all pray for one another.

Thanks and God Bless all of you.

I can relate to that. I have a close neighbour that has endured a lot of hardships growing up and now when he is very successful (in a wordly sense), he constantly talks about negative stuff and materialism. It catches on to me as well.

Praying for you in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You Lord!

Powerful prayer (say the numbers)


Heavenly father most high God, I ask in the name of Jesus Christ that you forgive me of all my past sins, transgressions and inequities, please release me from any legal ground Satan or his minions have over me (col 2:14)

"Having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away nailing it to the cross" col 2:14

Father I claim the finished work of the cross over my life and my bloodline, in the name of Jesus please overturn any legal ground Satan had over my life (John 19:28) (col 2:14)
(Luke 11-18-22-23-24) over me and my bloodline, I claim the shed blood of your dear son Jesus over myself and my bloodline.

Father please hear my prayer for I ask it in Jesus name

Amen
