  • 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

I was reading an archived Our Daily Bread. It was about a 60 year old woman which was happy being single. While she 21, her friends were getting married and engaged. They were all so happy to have a mate. She told God she doesn't want to be married until she's satisfied with God. After reading this, I really took it to heart. I let this female in and we broke up. I was so angry I couldn't have her. My happiness even started depending on her...and we weren't even together. Man that sucks! Anyway, I've decided to do the same thing this woman has done. I don't need a woman, I need Jesus! Later y'all

There is nothing wrong with the single life, in fact, from a Christian perspective, the single life leaves you freer for ministry and service. And, Christian singles are not necessarilly enduring their "lot in live", they are usually living happy and very full and satisfying lives.

Having said that, it sounds a bit as if you are responding to the Daily Bread story out of the hurt, frustration and anger over your previous relationship. Give yourself some time to heal and make this a matter of prayer. It could very well be that God will/has give/en you the gift of celibacy. Your course in life is not exclusivly of your choosing; God has a plan for you. Choosing one's path in life is not about making a choice and sticking to it, for a Christian. We need to be prayerfully asking God for direction.

I know He will be with you as your heal and as you seek His plan.
