• 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.

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
<-----> 1st Corinthians 15:51+52

^ These really cry out to yer heart, don't they?

Yea, and are especially convicting towards us who murmur and complain while resting on our laurels of mechanical automation and modern technologies !

For thou will save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. <-----> Psalm 18:27

Glad for your sharing !

"his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.
He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers." ~Psalm 1:2-3

KJV - "For that which is spoken gracefully can be put strongly, and still be received."

[What came to mind while wondering why The King James stood out so, among English translations.]

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. <-----> Colossians 4:6

May The Lord Be Pleased to Bless !

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." ~Psalm 23

The key is to think of others in a caring/loving way, and the key to that is being ever mindful of Jesus and His Glorious Testimony !

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you. <-----> Ephesians 4:32
