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.

Jesus told Nicodemus that no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. When Nicodemus questioned how this could be done, Jesus answered him that people are born of the flesh when they are born from their mother’s wombs, but they must each also have a spiritual birth if they want...
“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not...
“O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being...
This is for Christians. It is an encouragement to wait for the Lord, to be of courage, to be strong spiritually, and to take heart when life kicks you hard and/or when foes rise up against you to take you down, mainly speaking of our foe Satan. The opposite of fear is trust. This does not mean...
“Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery— to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you. And from those...
“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
“For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man's gospel. For I did not receive it from any man...
The question is not,
“Is God able?”
For our Bible’s
Not a fable.
The question then is
“Are you willing
To surrender?
Your life giving?”
When Jesus gave His
Life up for us,
Died on that cross,
So He’d free us.
So He, in His death,
Conquered our sin
So that we might
Walk in freedom.
So...
“Then the earth reeled and rocked;
the foundations also of the mountains trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
Smoke went up from his nostrils,
and devouring fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
He bowed the heavens and came down;
thick darkness was...
“The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,
and exalted be the God of my salvation—
…who rescued me from my enemies;
yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me;
you delivered me from the man of violence.
For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,
and sing to...
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. ~ Galatians 2:20 NIV
I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in...
“With the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
with the purified you show yourself pure;
and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
For you save a humble people,
but the haughty eyes you bring down.
For it is you who...
“The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
For all his rules were before me,
and his statutes I did not put away from me.
I was...
This song is about the passing of time, how so much of the church is asleep, and how Satan is on a rampage because his time is running out. It is also a call for the lethargic and apathetic church to wake up, to repent, and to get on fire for the Lord Jesus before time does run out.
"When he...
Cultivating an Attitude of Gratitude: Embracing 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Introduction
In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the simple yet profound power of gratitude. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, 1 Thessalonians 5:18 serves as a gentle reminder to "give thanks in...
Followers of Messiah Jesus go to the Scriptures to get honest and true
questions and answers, for: "the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper
than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit,
and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and...
Paul had just completed his encouragements and his instructions to the church in Colossae with regard to their walks faith and practice, in relationship to Jesus Christ and to their salvation from sin, and with regard to how they ought to live as those who have been cleansed from their sins. And...
“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.” (Colossians...
I believe the train being spoken of here is a picture of today’s modern institutional church movement which follows the teachings, philosophies and marketing schemes of human beings over and above, or in place of Christ, his word, and his gospel.
Much of The Lord’s true church here in America...
