  • 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

God has recently made me very aware that my pride is getting in the way of what he wants me to be. Please pray that I can remove all self centeredness and pride in my life. This is a very difficult thing because in some ways in some places in my heart I am motivated to do so because of pride. Part of me thinks it is very important that I am looked at as a great christian. That I will leave a legacy and people will think wow Carl is such a great guy and Christian. But that is not what it is all about. Please pray that God will rid me of my pride and help me love him with all my being and love others as he has commanded me to do. Pray that God will help me loose myself and help me die so that HE may increase.

Blackhawk,
You have made the first step, because the Bible says to confess it to your Brethern. I think you are being helped already but I will add my prayer for you to be set free. (I struggle in this area too but the Lord began to show me the way to help me with mine was for me to reach out and help those in the area of my pride! It is working too, I'm getting excited about helping others succeed in the areas where I fought pride!) {{{hugs}}} :pray: Pray for me too Blackhawk, we will support one another!
