• 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

Sirach 47:2-11



“With his whole heart David loved his Maker and daily had his praises sung.”



David readily praised the Lord and with the people.



Mark 6:14-29

In the Gospel, people present Jesus as they think they know him. For some, he is John the Baptist, for others, Elijah or a prophet.



The difficulty we may encounter from others is that they give to Jesus an identity other than his own.

James 1:12-18

“Guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”



Let us be careful not to be taken in by selfishness and pride, even if it seems like strength to others.

Let us allow the Lord to love us right now.
