• 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.

Great quotes that will drive you to tell others the Gospel.

I think that I have said to some of you that I collect quotes. Some from famous people and others who have gone into obscurity.
Anyway, since writing this thread, I have been collecting a few more powerful quotes that will make you think about evangelizing.

If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.” Pastor Charles H. Spurgeon

The church should gather to worship and scatter to witness.

Law without consequence is nothing but good advice. Preach the law, but also preach judgment, then love.

"It's easy to take a stand on something if there's no risk involved. It's easy to give a quarter to a poor man if you keep a dollar for yourself. It's easy to take a stand against the war so long as nobody asks you to make a real sacrifice. Likewise, it is easy to be a Christian as long as we do not have to tell strangers the Gospel."

When Christ calls a man, He bids him to come and die. Dietch Bonheoffer

Acquire the Spirit of Peace and a thousand souls around you will be saved.” - St. Seraphim of Sarov
Hello PsaltiChrysostom, I meant to ask you about this quote when I first saw it a couple of years ago, but I forgot to for some reason. It is certainly a nice sentiment, but I was hoping that you'd explain what St. Seraphim meant by it because, practically speaking anyway, the best that I've been able to do is guess at his meaning (and none of my guesses seem to make much sense :help:).

Thanks :)

God bless you!!
