• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Who else besides me? :p

I am happy being single for now. I believe God intends this for at least the next couple of years. But, I guess I'll just have to wait and see. :) Perhaps He has a special surprise waiting for me along the way.

Anyhow, just rememeber that God has a plan for each and every one of us. He created one mate for Adam and one mate for Eve; and it is no different nowadays than it was then.** God is in control.

** If you wish to debate that, please take it to another topic, not here. ;)

Considering not many people are signing their name to the list, I don't think the original question really needed to be asked considering where we are posting - the Singles Ministry.... nor does there really need to be a specific thread about being single on Valentine's Day.

But that's just my thinking.

*raises her hand*

Sometimes it can be hard. Many, many people are getting engaged at my college and I want that.

But I'm still young. There are things I want to do for Him. There are ways that I need to grow yet. So I'm glad that I'm single at this moment. :)

GOOD GRIEF :eek: I am single, and just fine with it right now. But am I the oldest single in the history of the world at almost 33 years old? :scratch: ....
That's got to be it - you're REALLY OLD!

Wait a sec, I may resemble that remark... you know, you're really not that old at all, in fact, a man in our church got remarried at 50... you know, we must be young!

(well, at least compared to most geological features. :^) )

(dates are what my mom makes Christmas cookies out of - beyond that, I don't remember.)

Add my name to the list on S.A.D. I do firmly believe though that my name will be on the married list someday! I look forward to that day.

Being single can really show you how God works through your life. You can touch so many people through the people you meet in places such as this website.

An awesome thought but there's a problem. Many singles wish to dwell on loneliness and longing and coveting having a mate. They let all that darkness be a big part of their lives and it does them no good. They think selfishly and it's a big, tall barrier set up with God on the other side. I'll say it 17 million MORE times - people've gotta be content with being single. It is so simple. We're not perfect, well, maybe me more than most (j/k) but we all can get down from time to time but man, the only thing that must be done when that happens is we've gotta turn to God to get the hell out of that funk. Nothing good will come from living in the darkness that is lonely sadness. Live in the shining light of God and be a shining example of what a single person should be. Be content being single, enrich your life, enjoy what singleness has to offer and grow in Christ. That simply cannot happen when you murmur about the position you're in. SO ANYONE IN A FUNK I WILL SAY AGAIN - SNAP PUT OF IT! K? Are we clear? Can I get a, "Yes, sir, Chris. Right away, funk's all gone, only funk now is a good funk, gonna get down but this down's not gonna be a sad down it's only gonna be a funky gettin' down, AMEN!" Have a nice day being single now, ya hear!?
