  • 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

Silent Angels

Some have speculated that communication in Heaven might well be via thought. However, there are enough biblical references to give credence to the expectation that verbal communications do now exist there and will in the future. Perhaps also some "thought-talk" will be there for the saints as well, given that the Lord is omniscient, is creative, and obviously likes variety. I speculate about such a phenomenon here—a legion of angels dedicated for this purpose:

Bring forth the silent angels
For a heavenly interlude,
Their thoughtful psalms, for Israel's El,*
Without sound, to exude.
Radiant faces of these servants
Tell of an inner song
Heard in the Father's presence,
By Son, and Spirit--One!

Neither "unknown tongues"** proceeding,
Nor utterance heard or made,
Purest thoughts forth-pouring
In exultative waves.
Will silent songs pass by their wings
To not by us be known?
Yet, eternally fulfilling,
Such angels praise our Lord!
