  • 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

An Acceptable Lifestyle As God’s New Creation
Luke 1:
74
That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered
out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
1 Peter 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Ephesians 4:
22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct the old man,
which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,
23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God,
in true righteousness and holiness.
1 John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that everyone
who does righteousness is born of him.
***************************************************************
Justification By Faith In a Blessed Hope Through Patient Endurance
2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them
that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness
of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
Romans 3:26
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just,
and the justifier of him who believes in Jesus.
Galatians 5:5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait
for the hope of righteousness by faith.
Romans 8:
24
For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope;
for why does one still hope for what he sees?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
*****************************************************************
Children Who Practice Righteousness
1 John 3:
7
Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices
righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
8
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might
destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him;
and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest:
Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God,
nor is he who does not love his brother.
***************************************************************
Bearing The Fruit Of Righteousness
Ephesians 5:
8 For you were once darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.
9 For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth,
10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
Hebrews 12:11 Now no discipline seems to be joyful for the present, but painful;
nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness
to those who have been trained by it.
James 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
**************************************************************
Experiencing the Resurrection in Christ
Philippians Three:
8
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge
of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things,
and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law,
but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings,
being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain the resurrection of the dead.
2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for
new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
****************************************************************
To Stand On The Day of Judgment
2 Corinthians 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness
on the right hand and on the left.
Acts 17:31 Because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world
in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained.
He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.
2 Timothy 4:8
Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge,
will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearance.

Thanks for that. I do devotions with my mom every morning and evening, but for some reason I was very spiritually starved for more of the Word of God, and you just gave it to me. Thank you. :)

Have you ever been hungry for the Word?
