• 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.

  • 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

to be complete in Jesus? Does it mean I have no desires outside of God and that I just want to worship and glorify God in EVERYTHING I do?


You're gonna have different answers to this question. Instead of giving scripture references let me list a few lines from a song I learned at church when I was in youth group:

"King Jesus is all,
my all-in-all.
And I know that He'll answer,
me when I call.
Walking by my side,
I'm satisfied.
King Jesus is all,
my all-in-all."

You'll learn over time. Just keep reading the Bible. I cannot stress that enough. Think of the disciples. As long as they had Jesus with them they never wanted for food, drink, or anything. Nothing has changed.

Praise Him! :D

That's the idea, ayess; and a few people have come awfully close! You might check online or at a Christian bookstore for The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence.
But don't worry that you can't do it all that well. If you follow what unkern said just above me, you'll get God's "A for Effort."
