• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Life is kinda like stumbling around in dark marketplace. You can't see where you came from, and you don't know what's around the turn ahead. The merchants of ideas and those around you are cloaked in darkness. Though you may see a faint light glinter off their teeth, you cannot read what their eyes say.

From all directions you can hear the calls of the merchants, each a new idea or opinion, all blurred into one large murmur, amplified by cultural relativism and the information super highway. Amongst the chatter, I heard truth call out. Though other voices tried to raise themselves above the call of truth, I was able to hear the message.

"Repent! The Kingdom of Heaven is near!"

Intrigued, I followed the truth's voice, blocked a few times by often condescending or cold remarks from those who wish to hide it. Some try to sound like the voice that calls, forcing one to stop and think if this is indeed the true path. To this day I continue to follow truth's ellusive call, trusting it to lead me out of the darkness.

Still on the trail, your brother, 039. Be careful out there.
