  • 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

It was a very hard week this week. Extremely to say the least.

My problems + OCD + Depression + Mom suffering = Big Emotional Disaster.

I prayed a lot, and asked God for a signal.

Well, It came today.

I was at church and the pastor started reading Mathew 5

"
3"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.

5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth."

I literally felt so at peace at that time when he was explaining this passage. Such an amazing peace. The pastor put some oil on our foreheads and then I felt an electricity over my head when he put his hands over it while praying.

I don't think it was mere coincidence, It was God speaking to me through his word.

Be Blessed Today :)

Glad to hear it.

Yes, God speaks to us through His word in just this way.

The Bible is such an amazing book.

I wanna get myself a bigger letter version since I kind of have trouble reading mine, but yes.

Any of you have experiences like this? When God talks to you?

Yes, of course, frequently. When ever you are having hard times, God is there.

I think it must have been horrific for Jesus down here, not something we can fathom at all.

God is always close to a sad, contrite heart.

God is the One we can always count on.

I agree, this is how God speaks to me. I am struggling in my life right now, and it seems like every sermon I hear, every class I attend, every book I read- all points back to the same 3 passages right now. Coincidence? I think not.

I also got some evangelical e-mails last week with those 3 passages. They are really comforting. :)
