  • 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

Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like
doing something nice for someone you care for. . . THAT'S GOD. . . He talks
to you through the Holy Spirit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to
talk to. . . THAT'S GOD .. . . He wants you to talk to Him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you haven't seen in a long
time and then next thing you know you see them or receive a phone call from
them. . . THAT'S GOD .. . . there is no such thing as coincidence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for,
like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a
coupon to a department store where you had just seen something you wanted,
but couldn't afford. . . THAT'S GOD. .. . He knows the desires of your
heart. . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it is going to get
better, but now you look back on it. . . THAT'S GOD. .. . He passes us
through tribulation to see a brighter day. . .

Excellent post! :clap: and my friend you have only begun to scratch the top! I stayed awake the other night thinking of this exact thing :D and now I see your post. "that's God" lol :) :pray: :) Maybe some of my thoughts can bless you as well...

Most natural good desires can be easily seen as desires for God:

desire for a shiny new car... actually a desire to move forward in your relationship with God.
desire for a spouse... actually a desire for closer intimacy and fellowship with the Lord.
desire to be successful at work... actually a desire to please God with your life.
desire for loving friends... actually a desire of those seeking God's love
desire for financial security... actually a desire to be secure with the Lord
desire for quiet... actually a desire to rest in the Lord
desire for work... actually a desire to be working for the Lord

These desires just kinda come out in different forms, and all good natural desires are intended to show you that your spirit wants more of God (or needs Him in the first place)

Some sinful desires can just as easily be seen as misplaced desires for God:

Sexual urges (which in the confines of marriage are perfectly fine)... a cry for intimacy with the Lord.
Greed... the cry of a heart yearning for God, but not knowing where to find Him. The greedy person searches to try and fill the void only God can but with material things.
Lust... a cry for something lacking in your own soul, but without direction
Idolatry... a cry to worship the Lord, yet misplaced into a false god
Murder... a loud cry out showing that the soul is searching for the peace of God, but horribly lacking the ability to give problems to the Lord
Working (doing labor, not just doing good) on the Sabbath... a cry to work for the Lord, yet neglecting His provision of rest
Dishonoring parents... (this one was kinda tough) a desire to move into the favor of God their own way, but neglects the commands God has already given.


Maybe there are more, but I don't know em. I just feel that God created man with a desire to find Him. After all, the temptation in Eden was to be like God...

I hope this post encourages you to look at your own desires and see what it is that your soul is truly yearning for.
