• 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.

What If His People Prayed?

Pray for me, if you will? In short, I've pretty much been either an outsider or out on the margins of pretty much any social circle I've been in (or near) over the last few years. To say the least, it's very discouraging, more than disheartening, and incredibly isolated.
And please don't give me that Christianese about how God just "wants me for Himself."
That will not fly.
Praying for you! I've experienced much of the same thing and it can be very discouraging. I'm shocked that there is Christianese about this- actually I can believe it; I just can't think of anything more anti Christ than telling someone who is struggling with this some stupid answer about how God wants you to be an island and not have any friends. I'll pray that God will bring people into your life that you really connect with and with whom you can have great uplifting friendships with.

what's the matter, exactly? (if you care to go into details)

I would rather not on a public forum but I can talk via private messages on here about it. I hope it is nothing serious and that I am just making a big deal but this has been going on for a while now and is getting worse.

Praying Jeff!

and I'm with mina - I can't believe anyone would say something like that :sorry:

Luckily, I haven't heard that chestnut in awhile, but you wouldn't believe how often it pops up on Christian encouragement websites. :confused:
Thanks a lot for praying. Sometimes I don't know if there really are people I can connect with and have great uplifting friendships with, but if they do exist, I hope God brings them along soon.

I have a buddy who I used to work with that just retired. He moved to Florida. He sent me an email requesting that I and others pray for some health tests he has coming up. It's a two day event (the tests) Please pray that the doctors will give him a clean bill of health. His name is Steve.

I put my bank cards in a safe place and can't remember where that is! I need to find them by Monday because I have no money on me and need to buy a birthday present. Please pray that I will find them.

Another prayer request guys. I am worried about my health right now and will be seeing the doctor soon so if you can pray that if there is something wrong that the doctors will find out.


Praying!

In all likelyhood, this will be my last post on CF for a very, very long time. I need prayers, since I'm on a self-destructive path with my anger issues, and need to calm down. Please pray that I get it under control.

Sorry Rob :hug:
