• 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.

What are you thankful for today?

I think it's very easy to get caught up the things we don't have, much to the detriment of the things we do have.

First of all I am grateful the Lord has blessed me with another day in His creation.

I am grateful for another day to better know He that provides and sustains.

I am grateful for my job even though I feel tired and don't like getting up early, I am grateful I have an income.

I am grateful for my health. I am not without health problems, but I can function, work, worship and hopefully contribute to those around me.

I am grateful for friends I can fellowship with, whose friendship brings my gaze back to Christ through His reflection in them and their deeds.

I know I am not alone in taking the good for granted, and I am going to be making a conscious effort to be more grateful throughout each day.

First of all, although I realise I often fall short of what Jesus requires of me, I am grateful for His faithfulness, love and care.

As I no longer have family around me, I am very grateful for the close friends I have who are always very loyal and supportive.

I'm grateful for a fantastic employer who has always treated me well and makes me feel I am a valuable part of the team.

I'm grateful for the fellowship I enjoy at my local church. I moved into my new house a couple of years ago and when I first started attending this church, I was overwhelmed by the welcome I got from them.
