  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Abraham's servant set out to look for a wife for Isaac in Gen 24. He saw a young woman filling her jar.

17 Then the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water to drink from your jar.”
He did not ask for much.

18 She said, “Drink, my lord.” And she quickly let down her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink. 19 When she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”
She decided to do more than he asked.

20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw water, and she drew for all his camels.
That was the sign that the servant was looking for.

The interaction between Abraham's servant and Rebekah is a beautiful narrative emphasizing the importance of kindness, service, and divine guidance in fulfilling God's plans. Rebekah's willingness to offer water not only to the servant but also to his camels demonstrates a generous spirit and aligns with the qualities sought in a partner for Isaac. She did more than what was asked of her.
