• 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.

Sin should not be master of our lives.
Sin should not o’er take us, in us thrive.
Christ should have dominion in us now,
As we come to know Him, humbly bow.

Let His Word instruct us in His ways.
Let us follow Him from day to day.
Conquerors in Jesus be us now,
Victory in Jesus we avow.

Come before our Lord, we humbly pray
To be His and His alone each day.
Fellowshipping with Him now in fact,
Now our all surrendering intact.

Walk in holiness and righteousness.
Of our sins to Him we must confess.
Doing what we know to be His will,
Love of God within us He will fill.

This is where the rubber meets the road. I think Jordan Peterson has an incredible discussion when someone that they believe... do you now really? Do you understand what the CALLING IS? Step one Know that the call is to DIE to self. I am DEAD in Yeshua it is not ME that lives but it is Yeshua who lives in me. Have God show you WHO YOU REALLY are in your current state... God had me in proverbs daily for months He showed me that in EVERY WAY, I fit the BIBICAL description of what GOD SAYS is a FOOL. You see, the process of change NECESSITATES that you are able to SEE and ACKNOWLEDGE who you are it is only by seeing the problem, and admitting the problem, that God can change your heart... How? BY THE WASHING OF THE WORD.

Yeshua GIVES us this TRUTH, a principle that everything for humans operates. Where sin STARTS how it manifists and how the renewing of our MINDS starts.

The principle is the mustard seed account. If you have FAITH the size of the grain of a mustard seed you can say to this mountain be rooted up and cast into the sea, it will DO SO.

This principle shows how sin operates.

Lets talk about faith... see, the first thing that MUST OCCUR is what you are THINKING. Is your mind ORDERLY? Is your thought life under Gods subjection? You see, you must first see in your mind, which leads to Action. tHE SAME IS TRUE WITH SIN. YOU MUST FIRST imagine it in your heart and then it spring forth and then you Act ON IT.....

WHEN ONE SAYS THEY BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE SOME EVIDENCE OF THAT BELIEF THIS IS WHY James says FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD... Works is ACTION there is the attempt daily to live Godly and recall that we are all sinners and dying to the flesh is exactly what is expected of his children... This is why John in 1st John says if any sins (we fall short as we all will, because if we say that we do not sin we are a liar and the truth is not in us) that we have an advocate who is just and will FORGIVE our sin when we confess them... this is why it is so critical to spend time DAILY in scripture! Because is it by the washing of the word that changes how we THINK which results in the ONLY POSSIBLE OUTCOME, our BEHAVIOR begins to come under that subjection of living and walking UPRIGHT!!
