• 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.

The daily thread.

This is AWESOME. It's like in response to what W2L said about his "guiding Light".

Amen!
It was more than just like a response. By design it was a direct response.
When he said that I was thinking of this song. But my search found that one.

No, never told me about it.

I was sick. I had cellulitis, which is very serious. i went to the hospital because i had no doctors or insurance, and they kept me, putting me on antibiotic IV. THey had to up the dose a couple of times though because it was so bad. I overheard them talking about my white blood cell count or some kind of count and how very low it was, as they upped the dose again.

In this hospital was a tv that played their own cable, and it was religious programming non stop. It was a blessing. As i layed there, i began talking to God, and i asked Him as His daughter asking her heavenly Father to bring my blood cell count up.

During this time, it was like i was 7 years old (don't ask me why) and i was sort of taking Jesus by the hand, and taking Him to the different rooms and "introducing" Him to each person, even their relatives, and staff. My faith was very "child-like" and uninhibited, and just joyful. Now i did this in my heart, as i prayed for ev'ry one coming and going in my room. i had three different room-mates at the time. A couple of them in pain and very sick.

So i go to sleep. In the morning they came to take blood. My blood cell count was normal.

It was a miracle.

Do you know why Satan goes about roaring like a lion?
It's because that is all he has left because when Jesus gave him a PHD (permanent head damage) He knocked all of his teeth out. He has no bite.

John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

When we fear God, that is to exalt Him above everything else, nothing can make us afraid so we have strong confidence.

Having a refuge is very good. God is good.
