  • 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.

Hey what is going on all of you? :scratch:   I just wanted to start a thread about praying.  You know as Christians we are always praying for things that we would liek to have or that we need help w/.  There are times though when some of us can get discouraged or even frustrated about not receiving the answers to our prayers in a timely order that we think we should receive them in...as I can atest to that.  As a sinner my mom said that she would pray day and night for almost a little over a year that I would accept Jesus as my Savior and get saved...before I finally did!  What do you do as a fellow Christian to keep going on and keep continuing to pray for the same thing over and over until you finally get it?  My poll question is...What is the longest you have ever prayed for one certain thing before you actually received it??  So please everyone do my poll...and let us know of what it is that you received or the story of it if you like.

May God Bless!

I think we must all be too busy praying? if not maybe we should be!

From my experiences some prayers are answered right away, others over a period of time. some in ways I never expected, But they are all answered. There have also been times I haven't had to pray anything at all, and the Lord has just granted me something he knew I had a desire for.
