  • 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's on your mind?

I think I need to find a new church... been having a not-so great go at church the last little while, nothing is really coming from going there... not being fed really by the services, not connecting with anyone. Only reason I'm going is because I feel somewhat attached to it now because I've been going since May or so, and it's the most convenient church to access. Hardly any young people, mostly all old people who I can't connect with. Only young person I really connected to and saw Christ's love in has recently moved away.

I'm so discouraged. I'm sitting here asking myself why, if God wants me to go to church and love my neighbor and do his will, am I not able to do it? Like I suppose I do it on some level, but nowhere even close to what scripture paints the image of the church as. Why can't I find a group of people who are as zealous as I am for his will, who want to love one another and be one in their callings and goings in life, who want to be one in mind, spirit, etc... just feeling awful about it all.

Prayers appreciated.

Feeling thankful for the most beautiful snow outside.
Most my coworkers have been calling in sick all week thanks to snow and icy roads. The second day, there was a tally of like 75 call outs. it was nuts.

Well I would have made 76..... but then I have an excuse..... in all my 37 years...... I can count on one hand how often I have had to drive in it...... and zero of those times were heavy ice and snow. People that live where its common should be used to it by now.

I know the feeling all too well. My dad and I went to a church not yesterday but last Sunday, and decided not to go there again because of their core message was off. They were saying the NT is the A-Z of the Bible, so they don't concentrate on the OT as much at all. Both my dad and I have a problem with that because His Word is not NT only.

I just found out I'm going to be an uncle again! My sister went in to have her gallbladder removed, only for them to give her the good news.

I'm sorry, perhaps you can talk with someone here? :)

Thanks. :hug: I don't think so but maybe. I might just do a long vent on tumblr or something. Shout into the void. And hope that helps.

Ohhhhh I thought you were way up north where snow is normal.

One day I drove into work and got sideways. The guy there got into 3 accidents on his way to work. Gotta love it when a corporation cares about its people :p

Someone on here was talking about bible prophecy and something happening yesterday we should watch out for. Who was that? Forgive me for forgetting.

That would be me.

The France Peace Summit reaffirmed their commitment to the two state solution and the UN is going to have another meeting tomorrow. People are speculating that the UN is preparing another anti-Israel resolution before Trump gets into office.

That's right! Thank you for responding. I was trying to remember what was said about the meeting.
