• 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.

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 9/29/2025:
Never prove that we are more important than
Others and how we need to
Realize when we share and show
Humility and understanding to others
It is not all about us even those the
World does say on the contrary
Understanding that we need to open our
Hearts, minds, and souls not just eyes.

Definition in humility over in showing
No pride or arrogance and
True humility isn't like in having
Low self-esteem but it shows
Over in foster both in the
Consideration along with the respect as
Jesus did and still does through ministers and missionaries.

JPPT1974's Wed Thoughts 10/1/2025:
It is about humility and
When we give it up for
Those that are even more
Important than ourselves it
Proves we can really show that
Being team players we politely
Defer it over to others and really
Shows how it proves us to be better people.

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 10/2/2025:
Humility is about in deflecting
Credit and deferring to others
Know that others need to be
Acknowledged and really show they are
Very important knowing it is about
We are just one of many people
That had a hand on it.
It is showing we are not above others.

JPPT1974's Weekend Thoughts 10/3-10/5/2025:
Sadly there are those who
Want to claim credit for themselves
Putting themselves ahead of those
Who may had got them there
Or that they don't think that others
Who have worked just as hard
It shows sadly they are self-absorbed and
Credit themselves instead of those who work
Along with them and being team players.

Credit where credit is due
Not one person but in showing
Others that we are just one
Person as we have accepted as a
Team and not as one individual and
Really people think that humility
Is not a bad word but others
Find it contrary to the fact.

Humility is showing where credit is
Due and that proving that we are
Just one of many people that had a hand
While not proving we are that
Very important but that is what
Jesus would do and that it is not a
Bad word by any and all means.
Pride is about arrogance and self-absorbed
Not showing humbleness and kindness.

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 10/6/2025:
The pride will fall in the long run
However it is that though not
Mentioned out loud they will fall
Later on as that is on the short-term.
Arrogance is pride and how
Humility is showing wisdom, along with
Generosity and understanding and
How humility will win out even if it
Takes long but remember God thinks of the
Very long term and beyond long thinking and
Showing humbleness and kindness.

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 10/7/2025:
Pride is a sin and how
When we use it for our
Own needs rather than on
Those who need it the most
Giving up pride for humility doesn't
Show that we are not more important but
We share in generosity and understanding
It is one of seven sins in the Bible.
Saying the most "deadliest" and worst!

If we are prideful and
That we need to really
Humble ourselves and how
When we do so it is going to
Be on our fall and in the arrogance
We have in the brought it on ourselves.
Sadly it is one of the seven sins.
Prideful when we get arrogant.

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 10/9/2025:
When we take credit ourselves
It proves that we think we are
Better than others and proves
That we are not team players
And how we need to really
Remember we are not the only
Ones on this earth as others deserve
Credit and working with each other.

When we go and think
That we are better than
Others and how that it
Makes us look bad and
Also that it proves in being
Self-centered and think that we
Are better than others in this world
Not giving credit where it is due.

God frowns when we are
Egotist placing our own pride and envy
Above others and how the Lord
Jesus wanted you and me to
Give Him worship and in being
Humble and placing God front
And center of our lives here
Knowing we should give credit to God!

Need to remember that we
Are here to be team players
Not me players and to give
Credit where it is due and that
It is not our work but the work of
Jesus and in His hands He
Knows best and that He knows
How that things need to run and for
Us to be prideful shows us in a bad light.

It is better to not be prideful
And how we need to really
Be the kind of people that we
Need to be that Christ is given the
Credit and glory plus praise and
Showing us humility when we are
Deflecting credit and glory and not being prideful.

Knowing pride goes before a fall
When we admit that we are wrong
Shows that we show humility and being
Humbled when we are sincere and not being
Fake and phony and all the work is
God's work and not ours and how
Zeroing in on credit, glory, and praise.
Jesus is the front and center of it all.
