• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Thanks Filled Request

National Day of Prayer here in the US, thanks be to God we still have Thee solitary God in America!

Going back as far as I remember in Pentecostal circles, is the teaching of sparing no opportunity to give thanks, even when making request.

Question is, should this be thanksgiving for the opportunity itself and-or the answer?

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God

(Philippians 4:6)​

Some one said,' A day without prayer makes one weak!'
Pardon me brother QB, but I think I heard a variation of that, saying,

'Seven days without prayer makes one weak.'

Keep praying! Never give up!
Practically speaking, I'm quiet sure the Apostle knew this wouldn't always be fully possible. Wouldn't the next logical point of reason lay on not letting anything in life be cause for us not addressing the Father in heaven?

Pray without ceasing.

(1 Thessalonians 5:17)
