• 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 Weekend Thoughts Black Friday:
We live in a world
That it is about being
Self-entitled and self-privileged
As much as really don't want to
Really admit it but it's true
But it is how we need to
Contrary act that was as
We are Christian believers!

When we realize that we
Need to not at all in
Acted as self-entitled and self-privileged
Thinking that we are or earn
Merits on our own but
Really they are not on our
Own and when we acknowledge
Jesus is the real true reason.

This is the world
It is about me, me, me
But it should be about
Others and everybody as
You see there is a saying
It is better to give than to
Receive and to think of others
Loving our neighbors as ourselves.

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 12/1/2025:
We need to really know
It is not about us but
About others and when we
Give and not think about ourselves
As there are other people that
Don't have the resources and means
However when we place Christ in our lives
Front and center, it changes our mindset.

World is really in need in
Humility and humbleness and
Really when we think about
Others who don't have the
Means and resources as we
Need to do all we can to really
Give time, resources, and means.

Our world should never be
About me, me, me, but about
We, we, we and that it is
How we shifted from being in
Unbelievers and about self to
Believers and that it is about those
Around us as we need to be
Very aware over on it!

Do so in a way that is
Kind and loving and caring
Not being self-entitled and
Self-privileged but it is about
Loving others and doing really
Unto others as they would have
Done to ourselves as the Lord says so
In the Book of the Bible!

When we are doing so
In such a kind and understanding
Way and how that we need to
Really be the kind of believers who
Just need to be team players
And to really be the kind of
People that need to be team players
Not in the being of me players.

How the Lord has been
In wanting you and me to really
Not brag about ourselves and
When we brag and flaunt on
Things we never at all have
Earned or even on doing on
So without merit makes all of
Us really look bad to others.

How to do so in love
As when people who think that
The world owes them and it
Comes as being self-entitled and
Self-privileged and flaunt and
Act like we know it all still
God has wanting us to always
Do unto others as we want others
To do unto ourselves here.

Sadly those that are wealthy and
Think that they can flaunt and
Act like they look at others that are
Beneath them really it is a sad
And very horrible thing to look at
Knowing that God is wanting
Us to be contrary over to that.
Understanding the Lord wanting us to
Show kindness and humility on it.

When people who don't do the work
Pulling their weight instead they
Throw their weight and that they
Really want others to pick up
Over on their slack and sadly
If you don't do the work, it can
Really affect on others around us
Stopping and thinking about on it.

Christ looks after the fellow human
He puts others first and foremost
As He may be the King of Kings
Lord of Lords over on it
As still He doesn't at all flaunt
It or in acting like they are
Better than others keep in mind.

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 12/11/2025:
Jesus came from a lowly manger
He took the form over in the Servant of
All servants and even though He is the
Son of the Lord Jesus but never flaunted it
He acted and still acts with kindness and love
Caring and sharing what God wanted Him to do
So for the three years He would preach and teach.
We may never be like Christ nor should we
Ever act like we are Him as we have no right by
Any and all means but to really show love and kindness
The Lord's ways and will are not the earth's.

He was not at all like
An ordinary king and that
He was not born over in
Royalty like other kings as
He would be a different kind of
King as He was God's one and
Only Son and that He would
Save us from our sins and eternal separation.

Knowing that a young teen
Virgin named Mary that would be
The only virgin who would give
Birth by God and that even though she had the right in
Questioning God but that she went
Along and obeyed even though she
Didn't understand but may had understood
God would take care of her while
Pregnant with the Son of God.

It could be beyond her
Own imagination how that the baby
She would bore due over to
Having her new groom Joseph on
Very long and winding road and
That would set the tone for the
Rest of Jesus life to come to
Be the Son of the God the Father.
Knowing His life would be a life of service.

How the lowly manger that
Were very crowded and really during
Very hard for Mary while she was
Pregnant with God's Son and
Joseph her new husband pulling
His pregnant wife by God and a camel
Going such a very long way and beyond.
To be born in such humble beginnings.

How that when Jesus would
Come from very humble beginnings
He would not be just an ordinary
King but the King of Kings and
Lord of Lords and that He would
Come to serve us and to save
Us from our sins and for us to not be
Eternally separated from God when we
Leave this world or when Jesus comes back.

Mary in her mind initially had the
Baby not knowing what He would
Accomplish and that He would be
Our only hope for eternity and
Being saved by accepting Him as
Our Savior and Lord and repent of our sins
Knowing He would be brutally beaten, ridicule, and
Rejected but He loved us before we loved Him.
