  • 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.

Iron sharpens iron.* Brother, sister, you can discount the effect of distances, of misunderstanding’s grind against the mind. Your walk, your talk, the slightest glint in your countenance, even the hurried expressions on paper, page—of internetted voices and faces before you retire: these add...
Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, saying, “Send to all the exiles, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite, “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, although I did not send him, and he has made you trust in a lie,” therefore thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am...
“And He was saying to them all, ‘If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. For what is a man profited if he gains...
Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV) “As a man sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend” Iron touching iron denotes meaningful, close-knit interaction that makes both parties figuratively sharper—and the wiser for it. What the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 1:11-12 underscores the...
However the reader perceives this chart, I hope that they sense the assurance of knowing the Scriptures are true and mutually affirming:
“Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases to be, For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men. They speak falsehood to one another; With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak. May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things; Who have said, ‘With...
It calls out two sins: stealing (eighth commandment) and swearing falsely by God’s name (third commandment). Not Just a Small Note Then—Personal, Precise, and Timeless, How Close Are We Now to the Lord’s Return and Judgement? Imagine a massive scroll soaring through the sky, glowing with...

That night all of this very little community had a place as their home to sleep, the families, the couples, and the few singles. The next day, Deseradar announced to the others of their community, "We will be gathering more large stones that we can yet carry, to bring near the place where we...
“Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not covet,’ and whatever other command there may be, are...

“At the last trumpet, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.” (1 Corinthians 15:52) Many people ask questions about our state after the Second Coming of Jesus. Will we simply return to the state of Eden? Will we become as Adam and Eve were before eating the forbidden...

Lord, your mercies are new every morning. I must therefore continue to discover anew, for the best orientation of my heart toward You, how this is so. I mustn’t take for granted what You grant. Proven before, I must admit that your mercies many times feel like a new ship aft and fore, in...

Have you ever had one of those 'over-sized' burgers at a few of the fast food franchises, where more of it drips on the wrapper/lap/carseat than often makes it to the mouth? They look and can be delicious, but they are simply an overload on the basics. So it is with salvation. In the beginning...
“If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin...
