  • 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

What's going on Luther??? Do you want to talk about it???

Nothing, life is just been pretty stale for me for the last 2 years. Nothing good happens, I'm still working at the same crap job that makes me live below the poverty level, even though I have a 4 year college degree mind you. Still alone and becomming more and more convinced that God really doesn't want me to have a family after all. Almost as if what I want and what God wants are nothing alike at all. And though I have no right that does make me mad at God a bit.

I see my years passing by and with no progress in my life being 24 suddenly feels like being 48. Everyone else in the world seems to receive their blessings but not me. Do you know I seemed to do better when I wasn't a Christian then when I was? Sure I feel better on the inside that I know God, but absolutly nothing happens on the outside.

I wish I had some magical words of advice that would make you feel better...but I don't...I do understand how you feel as I have felt that way at different times in my life.

What are you doing to change the circumstances of your life? Are you applying for new jobs??? Are you sending out your resume and actively persuing a new career? Do you belong to any professional organizations that are in the same field as your degree so you can make contacts and network?

I hope this doesn't come off as condescending because I truly don't mean it to...but you are only 24. You have plenty of time to have a family...just because you don't have one now doesn't mean that it isn't in God's plan for you to have a family in the future...trust Him Luther...trust that He is preparing you and your future wife so that when He brings you together, you'll both be ready to build a strong marriage and family...

I do understand how you feel Luther...I've been feeling some of the same discouragement. I long to be in a relationship...I desire nothing more than to share my life with someone...but I'm choosing to trust in the Lord. I'm choosing to believe that His ways are better than my ways and His thoughts are higher than mine. I don't understand but I'm choosing to trust....

God loves you Luther...He wants good things for you...He knows what is best for you...and His timing is best...trust in Him...believe in His love for you...hold onto Him Luther...He won't let you go...
