• 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.

You are the righteousness of God in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:21
The truly amazing part about that, is that you are still righteous, even after you sin.
Your righteousness was not a result of you doing good things. Jesus didn't become sin because of any sin.
We are righteous because of what Jesus did at Calvary and His being raised from the dead.
We weren't sinners because of anything we did, but because of Adam's sin. Romans 5:12-19

That's a relief....sometimes it can be forgotten or things get so distracting.

That's deep.

I gotta ruminate on that fer a bit.

Thanks Doug.

It was timely.

Im meditating on Gods peace. The words of the apostles paint a nice picture of peace, joy, contentment, and love. We all want those things. This scripture talks about meditating on good things and having peace as the result.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is [a]lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. 9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

I was just sharing with someone else these truths and it came to me that I should put it in here.
I know I shouldn't be, but sometimes I am amazed at God's workings. Mark 6:52

It's GOOD to be amazed at God's workings. He is an AWESOME God.

And thanks for posting it.

God's peace is priceless. Distractions drive me to distraction....but God still gathers me in like his li'l sheep that went wandering off again and i find rest and peace.

Those hamster wheels are brutal, mon

The key is to stay focused on Him. Isaiah 26:3
Be like Peter, the only one who got out of the boat and walked on water.
Don't be like Peter, as he lost his focus on Christ when he saw the storm.

It's true that Peter got out of the boat...that alone was faith and his love for Jesus, even if he did get discombobulated when he realized he was walking on that water...
