• 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.

What's on your mind?

Showering is my favorite part of the day because showers allow you to escape reality, even if it is only for a few moments.

Sadly, usually these shooters were bullied or outcasts. There's always warning signs. I'm not saying everyone who's bullied or outcast will become a shooter, but if they have access to guns or especially more moody than lately, that's a red flag. They need help! They don't see love! They don't have a friend a lot of times! Their family ignores them if they have one. This is always a heart issue.

I tend to get in trouble for saying this, but I always feel bad for them. What leads people to become a monster.

I'm not sure why... but I've felt even more exhausted today. Even my vision was like stuttering... like things were moving at a low framerate.

I wonder if it's hyper compacted stress. Or something.

The church body is sick. I grieve for it. It is time for repentance, and a new church culture in which that repentance carries on. The old right doesn't have it. The left certainly doesn't have it. The sooner that people on both sides realize this and repent before God, the sooner this can tangibly materialize.

Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Today’s events were grievous. A horror no parent should experience. This is a painful reminder of the necessity of staying prayed up and baking your children in prayer before their arrival and throughout their lives.

Because the wolves are numerous. To lay hands on innocence is abominable and worthy of the punishment He bestows.
