• 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.

  • 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.

I know someday I will be free
But for now, He covers me.
I know the trials never end
I've learned to take them as my friend
For each day, He covers me.

Thanks for posting this, Vambram, really needed to hear this reminder!

I've been grieving lately over how we have to carry this body of death around with us, this old sin nature - that for some reason can still speak to us. That the Spirit of Jesus in us has to hear some of the damnable thoughts that go through our minds.

I thought about this today though - that even though Jesus didn't have a sin nature, he was willing to hear the temptations, taunts, jeers, and challenges to HIS identity for 33 years - all the way till His final breath - and won our victory by profoundly demonstrating God's love, and declaring exactly Who He is - praying to His Father for the world to hear and see that He IS God's Son - despite bearing all of God's wrath!

So yah, like the song says, we are secure because HIS robe of righteousness covers us. We just gotta keep bearing our crosses till the day the enemy's voice is silenced FOREVER! Right?

God bless!
