  • 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 am looking for short (a page or two) testimonies about the entrapment of sin to add to my book. I have lust/pornography covered and want to expand to others who have felt trapped by their sin or thought patterns. I am particularly wanting to hear from women about their struggle with gossip, anxiety, bitterness,…etc.
Ones you've written or read would be appreciated, thanks

If interested in some of my own story, see my blog.

Well I've never be much of a gossiper or a bitter person but when it comes to pornography I have been struggling on and off since I was 12. Strike a deal with yourself like this, I'm only going to watch porn 3 times this week and slowly make the time longer and longer at your own personal pace. Remember our Lord is with us wherever we go and he understands a situation more than we ever could, you have to ask for his assistance, pray with me "Heavenly father thank you for another day of life, I humbly ask you to bless all my brothers and sisters and anyone who reads this. Assist ResetPreacher in his battle against temptations. In the name of your son Jesus Christ Amen!"

Thanks, Rockshe. I would appreciate hearing your story. I have been convicted about anxiety recently. I've come to see it as an attack on my faith from the enemy, using my emotions. Jesus' commands in Matthew 6, and in the Greek they are commands, are do not be anxious. Paul expands the subject of anxiety to anything in Phil. 4:6. It is counter to trusting God in our circumstances. My anxiety is usually about money or the inability to complete a task (such as writing). I have some advice on how to fight anxiety if you would like to hear it.
