  • 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

    God begins with what seems tiny or hidden, and that small start grows into His full purpose.

    Thank you so much for sharing this part of your testimony. It is hard when we see those we love bound by the chains of sin, and it does take God...

    What a wonderful post. I have a friend who got into drugs pretty bad. He didn't really care about "Yielding Himself" a servant to obey God, and...

“And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the...

This is a bit off topic but there seems to be a shift in Christianity as of late. If Jesus is an archangel as many claim in this growing thought trend, then this all becomes about the battle between archangels and all about that war in Heaven we've heard about that started long before our...

There were stones around useful for a base to walls that they found around the creek when they reached but there were only shrubs anywhere nearby, and they did not get wood as long as they wanted, for adding support. They used plenty of leaves still, mixed in with muddy earth around there, and...
“Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for I seek not what is yours but you. For children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be...
“I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me! For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a...
The physical nation of Israel is at the forefront in the news right now. But there are many misconceptions among those who believe in Jesus Christ as to who biblical Israel is in the Messianic age and in these last days before the return of Christ. So, I pray that all who profess faith in Jesus...
“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you...

Isaiah 24:18 Whoever flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit; whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare. What is the sound of terror? And who is trying to flee from it? What is the pit and the snare? Look at the title of Isaiah 24: The Lord’s Devastation of the Earth...
“Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God” (2 Corinthians 7:1 ESV). The first part of this passage of Scripture is in reference to the previous verses from 2 Corinthians 6:14-18...
This is the homily given by our Abbot Dom Augustine I don’t think that for the 21st century American the reality of King has deep significance. Perhaps something was evoked in us recently with the coronation of King Charles of England. At the same time I don’t think using the word ‘President’...
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting...
“So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim...

While the sun came up again, and all were thinking of coming to a place where they could stop, eat a little from their rations, and sleep enough after all that walking through the night, they could see some small difference in the area through which they currently went. The ground was a...
“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death...
Something Do you seek Me? Do you often seek Me? How can you find Me if you don’t hunt for Me? Don’t you look for what you need most? And since without Me you can do nothing, what do you need more than God? As for Me, I love to act for you and through you.Bossis, Gabrielle. He and I (p. 223)...
“Dear Lord, please give me the words that you want me to say here for your glory and for your purposes, Amen!” I am presently going through a very serious trial, not completely unlike others I have faced before, but this one is coming at me in doubles and maybe even triples. And it has to do...
