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.

Self-Knowledge
“Trust and, with patient endurance, allow all your disorders to come to the Light. It is only in this way that you can be made pure in the furnace of God’s love.”
— Community, Love Crucified, Teaching Manual (2020), p. 74
Jesus commands us to love ourselves. This is a...
Jesus Christ was speaking to his disciples. He was letting them know that soon he would be leaving them, that he would be going back to the Father, but that he was going to prepare a place for them, and he would return one day to take all his faithful followers to be with him for eternity. And...
Consider that Jesus told His apostles that truth only comes from the Father when He said Simon had spoken a piece of the truth, and that it was the Father's truth, not man's, that He would build His church upon. Now consider that we in the 21st century are living in a truly post-truth era where...
How nice it is to be able to post and upload images again!!
The last two weeks have had positives. I appreciate the patience of the members while things were fixed on the site. Christmas was nice (though the Lions lost to the Vikings). Michigan got a new football coach and he is looking...
“Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the...
By Jason – out of love and care for Christ’s Church
I woke at 2 a.m. in that quiet hour so often suited for prayer. As this year draws to a close, I have been pondering a question that weighs heavily on my heart: why does one glorious, free salvation—by grace alone through faith alone in Christ...
“Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat...
Both Deseradar and Fisepel spent time when there children went to sleep considering each to their own self what they could put into their stories that they worked on.
The next day when all in that household were awake, Deseradar opened up the entry at the front, and seeing it was bright and...
An argument against Christian Zionism
When I was living an Orthodox Jewish life I was always surprised that certain Christians financially supported Jewish Communities and causes. In my opinion it was a waste of money and effort because it does not open up the Jewish community to accepting...
Ingahuel, their daughter, said, "I would like knowing something you already thought for it. Can you tell us what it is?"
Deseradar answered, "You remember in the morning that underearthworm was seen above the ground after all the heavy rain we had earlier? With thinking of what story I might...
“What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him...
Was busy moving and preparing for a long trip, so I missed last week. With Trump, there is always something that is negative.
For all that Trump and Republicans complained about Biden's age, it is odd they are ignoring the signs of dementia in Trump. We are told he only sleeps 4 hours...
“Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.” (Galatians 6:9-10 NASB1995)
When I read the Scriptures, frequently I will...
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we...
The Sovereignty of God Over Satan and Suffering
Part I: Satan’s Ranging: Prowling Under God’s Control
The passage in Job ( Job 1:6-7 ) confirms that Satan is an active, created being who moves in God’s creation. The New Testament confirms that this activity did not end after Job’s time. This...
Prayer as I Age
Moses urges us to pray with the same ardor of Jesus, to intercede for the world, and to remember that despite all its frailties,
it still belongs to God. Everyone belongs to God. The worst sinners, the most wicked people, the most corrupt leaders,
are children of God...
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please… If we live by the Spirit, let us...
