• 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.

well, when I go to HIM and the waves of life rise up around me and make me fearful... I sink - that is when I let the waves become more than HIS grace. And that happens when I doubt in HIM - in the PATH HE has for me and me alone - when I doubt HIS perfect choice for me amidst my own blindnesses

we all sink...even Peter did...God loves us still, and God has placed each of us here to remind us that we are all in this together, and when i sink, you pray and simultaneously reach out yer hand to me....when you sink i do the same.

amen - we help one another - the whole different members of the body thing. We each have our place and our function.

yes...and in the helping, our focus stays on Him. I didn't realize it, but i was lookin for "help" from peeps instead of God...cuz what was goin on in my life freaked me out and God was freakin me out. Then the realization came...boom! I was looking to mere mortals to help me, instead of the One Who is my Support, my Strong Tower, my Comforter...He was allowing His face to be hidden from me...and i was freakin out...and in desperation i was lookin fer help that only HE could give from peeps.
