  • 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

This is pretty much me just complaining about things that aren’t going to change..
Jesus says >

"If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." (in Luke 9:23)

A cross of hard wood and its scraping splinters and its cold nails might not change. But how you are changed by God is what matters! And this includes how God has us to grow in unconditional loving. How Jesus was loving, on the cross, is what our cross is really about > not just heroically suffering the pain, not only bearing the nails that don't change.
But for some reason this is “Gods plan” for me?
Unchanging things are not what really are His will. I mean, what matters is how we become gentle and kind like Jesus. And we work creatively with how things change or do not. With God, we create with what we've got.

God started with dirt, to make Adam. Trust Him, each day, to start with you and things the way they are :)

"casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)
They keep telling me to get a girlfriend but my anxiety and depression are always getting in the way.. sometimes I meet people from online but can never seem to find someone where we mutually connect. It’s just so frustrating.
Well, anxiety and depression do get in the way of loving. Get with Jesus, get strong in love which can't be stopped by depression and anxiety. God is able to do this . . . with ***us***. We all need to be strong in Jesus loving.
