  • 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.

I almost forgot to mention this. In a recent post, a member who supports Trump claimed that as God placed him as president, we should support him, and have faith in him as a result. From a Christian perspective, God does place all rulers in place. To quote scripture: "Every person is to...

I've been watching the news about immigration, and how they are grabbing folks up at court who are following the law, and grabbing them up when they come for their appointments with immigration, and off the street. This image came up on Facebook: Are we just suppose to believe they are ICE...
Isaiah 41:8-11 ESV “But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend; you whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, “You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off”; fear...

The long rain had really drenched this area of the settlement. There were firmer spots in many places, especially around the wall surrounding all the plants they hoped would still grow, where the underearthworm had been, but had burrowed again later in that day. But there were many places left...
“From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, ‘God forbid it, Lord! This shall never...
“You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly. You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbor; I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:15-16...
“Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let...
“The voice of one calling out, “Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make straight in the desert a highway for our God.’” (Isaiah 40:3 NASB) John the Baptist said, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”...
“O Lord, I call upon You; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You! May my prayer be counted as incense before You; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering. Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. Do not incline my heart to any evil thing...

Wow, where to start. I had been traveling and then recuperating, so I am using memes again this week. Hegseth was grilled hard this week and Sen. Duckworth certainly had strong words. Noem is blowing through money, too, including spending $100 million on TV commercials that praise...
“How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep. A senseless man has no knowledge, Nor does a stupid man understand this: That when the wicked sprouted up like grass And all who did iniquity flourished, It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore. But You, O Lord, are on...

The huge creature, the underearthworm, continued to be around the wall, going along it on the outside of the garden with drenched plants all around in it, seemingly needing to feed right there. Those watching soon decided that their plants they needed to have growing were not threatened by this...
As some of you may or may not be aware, when the Lord called me to this ministry in 2004, and he had me begin writing down what he was teaching me from my times with him in his word each day, he also began opening my eyes to so many things about what was going on in my nation and in the world...
“But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is...
