• 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.

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

1 Samuel 15:16-23

“Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord in turn has rejected you as king!”



It is necessary to understand that it is Saul who is not in harmony with God. It is Saul who rejects God. God is simply observing this. The only word of God is Love, joy, and peace.



Mark 2:18-22

“Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.”



When is the Bridegroom with us? When is God with us? Right now.

1 Samuel 16:1-13

When he entered Bethlehem, the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and asked, “Is your visit peaceful, O seer?” He replied: “Yes!”



The servants of the Lord bring the peace of the Lord.



Mark 2:23-28

“The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”



Jesus urges caution in the face of excessive rules. He invites us instead to receive the peace of God.

1 Samuel 17:32-33, 37, 40-51

God is peace. War between two peoples or between two individuals is not God's will.



Mark 3:1-6

"The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him to put him to death."



It is easy to listen to a person's heart and to hear God in a person's heart and in our own. Confusion arises when we are not listening to God.

1 Samuel 18:6-9; 19:1-7

“Saul discussed his intention to kill David with his son Jonathan and with all his servants.”



It’s a shame when someone doesn’t think things through and wants to control those around them instead of revealing the beauty of God in people.



Lord, thank you for your beauty in every person.



Mark 3:7-12

“Jesus withdrew (from the crowd) toward the sea with his disciples. A large number of people [followed] from Galilee and from Judea.”



It’s wonderful to see that people want to be with Jesus.

1 Samuel 24:3-21

David cries out to Saul, “Why do you listen to those who say, ‘David is trying to harm you’?”



There are people who incite others against others. This evil could be avoided through mutual support and a desire to advance the cause of God’s love.



Mark 3:13-19

“Jesus appointed twelve [whom he also named apostles] that they might be with him and he might send them forth to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.”



The twelve appointed by Jesus have the mission of proclaiming the Good News: God is love. This love, when received by people, “drives out demons.”

2 Samuel 1:1-4, 11-12, 19, 23-27

David, speaking of Jonathan: “Jonathan my brother! Most dear have you been to me.”



The story of Jonathan and David is truly wonderful. But there is an even greater wonder: discovering the simple joy of God’s love within us.



Mark 3:20-21

When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”



When people fail to recognize the grace in someone’s heart, in this case, Jesus’ heart, they close themselves off to his work of peace.

Isaiah 8:23b – 9:3

“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.”



When the people sees “a great light,” they stand with the Lord.



1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 17

“I belong to Christ.”



Yes, the people can be interesting, but it is necessary to always return to Christ, to the present moment, to the Love of God.



Matthew 4:12-23

“Jesus cured every disease and illness among the people.”



Every person who welcomes the Love of God within themselves allows themselves many healings of the heart.

2 Timothy 1:1-8

Paul says of Timothy, “I am grateful to God.”



Gratitude rises from the heart when a person sees the beauty of God in hearts.



Titus 1:1-5

Paul says to Titus, “Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our savior.”



God gives you grace and peace, and it is visible within you.



Mark 3:22-30

The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul.”



This contrasts with the kind words Jesus speaks of his friends, because he sees the beauty of God in them.



The scribes here are not reflecting on the beauty of God in Jesus. The less they see it, the more they close themselves off from Jesus.

“David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David with joy.”



God walks with the people.



Mark 3:31-35

“Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”



God’s will is to receive his peace and to encourage it in the people.

2 Samuel 7:4-17

“The Lord declares to you that the Lord will make a house for you.”



The Lord’s house is his Heart; it is his kingdom. And his Heart is filled with Love.



Mark 4:1-20

“Those sown on rich soil are the ones who hear the word.”



The seed is the Love, joy, and peace of God. The good soil is the person who receives God’s Love. God’s Love contains the fruits of the Spirit.
