  • 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

I was wondering if any of you had some advise on when it's time to move on in life. I was thinking that of such things like when your situation becomes uncomfortable, feeling drawn to something else, general emotional instablity caused by thinking about a certain situation, etc. Any other signs or advise would be nice...

When you feel the irresistible pull of the Holy Spirit.

When you get fired.

When your girlfriend/boyfriend breaks off your relationship.

When you find you are becoming weakened by it instead of strengthened spiritually and emotionally.

When it negatively affects your health.

When it pulls you away from God.

When it makes you doubt God's goodness.

When it makes you despise your family or brothers and sisters in the faith.

When you feel depressed by the prospect of it continuing.

When you can't put one foot in front of the other anymore.

When you die.

When the other person dies.

When the thought of it makes you sick.

When you know it is wrong.

When it might harm someone else.

When you don't have the resources anymore.

When it all comes to a crashing end.

When you feel like you want to die.

When your loved ones confront you and beg you to stop because it's destroying you.

When you hear the still, small voice.

When you have finished everything you could do.

When you are shown the door.

These are all signs that it is time to move on.

This strikes me, as a fairly non-religious item, so I hope the moderators will give me a little breathingroom, without getting too nitpicky about protocol, where it doesn't serve any constructive or protective purpose.

We are perpetual works in progress. It's always time to move on, learn and grow. Beyond that it is just a matter of how big a step you make in which direction I guess. Now that is no exact science, but through trial and error you'll get better at it. Never shy away from advise, because if you deem that nessecary you can always check your bible,to see if the advise contradicts its teachings or not.

(anyone see any particular need in deleting this?).
