  • 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

Hey there,

So, this is a pretty new journey for me. I was an atheist all my life, but recently I've been feeling a draw to Christianity. It's been a pretty strong pull, and the steps I've taken (reading the bible, going to service, trying to pray-- not very good at it) have felt right. But, if someone asked me if I was saved... I would say... I think so? Everything just feels topsy turvy to me, and I struggle to say openly that I believe Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected. Actually, that's the first time I've put it in writing.

I joined because I move around a lot-- although by Feb of next year I may have better stability than I do now. And I'll be moving to a remote worksite. There's not a church nearby, and while I'll have access to online sermons, I wanted to seek fellowship as well. And a livestream doesn't accommodate that. I'd also like to find things that would help me grow in faith, and... maybe confidence, too, haha.

Thanks,
GMA

Welcome! Glad you are here.

I have a video for you - a testimony from an atheist in China who encounters Christ and becomes a Christian.

Hi Gell;
welcome to CF; May the Lord Jesus guide you here as well as in the world; and may you find friends and what ever you need from the Lord here.

I do have a question for you; do you like music--Praise & Worship music?

I have found; in times of trouble; like we have with this CV-19; that listening to; and singing along to good Christian P&W music; can bring us closer to Jesus and His wonderful peace.

Well; we have a new forum here at CF just for P&W music and at the top is a directory of other Christian music threads around CF; come and take a look!:wave:

Praise and Worship Music
