  • 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.

Surrendering to God's Will

You know that has been my goal for some time now but I don't seem to be taking steps forward but rather in the opposite direction. I remember having this feeling of wanting to know God and giving Him my all but somewhere along the line my road met a dead end and I ended up going back on the same path to where I first began. How do I get back on track?

Can't remember if I've replied to this thread before...doesnt' look like it

Anyways to the OP, that's great that you are on that path of total surrender. I am in the same boat. I don't want to live just sorta in God's will for me. I want to be completely in it. I want his will to be my will, I want his desires to be mine and anything that is not a part of his will to walk away before it even comes near the door of my heart and life.

Prayer
Bible study
Worship
Journaling/hearing God's voice
seeking visions and dreams
fellowship with others
Soaking in HIS prescence
christian music
online sermons
fasting
church services
prayer meetings and "prayer parties"
Prophecying
Counselling
Possibly healing
etc...

those are a few of my tools right now.

Let's be God Chasers and seek his Face not so much his hand. Lets just look into his eyes and trust he will "provide for all of our needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."

Thanks for the thread

God bless :)
