• 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.

I watched the video while having lunch and the message was timely. There’s a lot of things we do that no one sees and things we hold together no one commends. But our faithfulness is worthy of applause. And if you haven’t heard thank you or job well done as of late. Know that you’re seen and deserving nonetheless.

Do something nice for yourself. :)

The idea that she claims to be doing it to glorify God absolutely spoils it for me. I would much rather that she do such things simply because they're kind and fulfilling. Not because they glorify some supposed God, but simply because they glorify life. Let me do good, simply because it's good.

Perhaps that’s what moves the needle for her. We each have different things that inspire us. I’m working through several boxes of tomatoes as we speak and I love it. But God isn’t my why and it’s a task I genuinely enjoy. That doesn’t mean there aren’t areas where I don’t require a nudge. I’m human after all and so are you.

I loved the post. I needed it. Not sure if we can even discuss this in this forum though.
