• 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.

An encouraging word for dedicated prayer warriors...

Since this forum is for prayers, is there anyone you want us to pray for?
God bless you, Lorica, yes! Please lift up my neighbor Mary. First that the Lord would confirm her recent salvation, that He would convict her of the value of making her spiritual walk her daily priority, and for her considerable needs: rehab, physical and mental healing, shelter (eviction imminent), substantial financial assistance, acceptance into a specific group home, and that He would soften the hard hearts of her children and move them to re-establish contact with her. And for me, please, to be a patient representative of the Lord's love and friendship with her.

God bless! So glad you asked. ❣️

Thanks folks for prayers, got praises already. Mary got accepted at the group home and will be living with 5 other ladies - she has been alone for many years. They have a very strong rehab program, and also medical and emotional aid. Strangely, Meals on Wheels has come through in clearing a good chunk of her rental and utilities debt.

Best of all, she can stay there indefinately! She was facing either a hospice, nursing home, or shelter - all temporary - then the streets.

So... I tell ya folks she was at the very bottom of the pit and God has come through like gang-busters. And she KNOWS it. Talk about confirmation. She is all excited now about me sending her regular Scriptures and vids and link to my Church's worship service every Sunday (she is wheelchair bound and can't get out). By God's grace I hope to catch a lift to go visit her occasionally. She's just across the highway about 5 miles from me.

Still got big challenges especially with her health, but you can hear something in her voice that she was totally devoid of for the months I was getting to know her - hope.

Is God great and full of compassion, grace and mercy or what, saints?
