• 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.

  • 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

Could use some really bad. Seem to be going through what traditional churches called a Dark Night of the soul. Was raised Christian but didn't have a relationship with Him until recently. According to History, Traditional churches helped others like me. However, those churches at least in my diocese, have their own issues currently. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Sorry if it comes across as annoying.

Heavenly Father, I lift up this saint's requests to you in prayer, and plead your protection, blessing and the cleansing power of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus's blessed and Holy Name, I pray, Amen.

You don't get "raised Christian " you either are Christian or not it's simple as that , if you did not have relationship then you were never Christian to begin with . Going to church is not having relationship with God .

To get relationship you need to believe Jesus died for your sins on cross and God raised him from the dead and if you believe then you get free gift of eternal life .

Read 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 , Ephesians 2:8-9 , Ephesians 1:13-14 , 1 Peter 1:18-19

Well, grew up going to church and being condemned. I first got baptized at a young age. I do believe Jesus died and rose again. Thanks for the verses. Yes did eventually get rebaptized and rededicated. All I knew was Church. Now actually have a relationship with Christ. Didn't know how to before as I was only a child at the time. So only recently finding out how to have a relationship outside of church. That is why any help including scripture and prayers are appreciated. Thanks again.

Father, no church can give any greater help than You, Your Spirit, using Your Word. May this one get into Your Word and find what it is You would have him read that would answer this prayer through trust in Your Word, Spirit, and power. Amen. Hebrews 4:12; Proverbs 3:5-6; Philippians 4:19; Matthew 7:7; Philippians 4:6-8. Amen.
