  • 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

    When I Was Walking

    On April 6, 2011, fourteen years ago, the Lord Jesus gave me my very first song to write. And then on January 16, 2020, the Lord gave me the last of the 185 songs that he gave me to write for his purposes, and for his glory and praise. These songs were to be an encouragement to me and to the...

    A Gentle Reminder: Even When No One Sees

    I watched the video while having lunch and the message was timely. There’s a lot of things we do that no one sees and things we hold together no one commends. But our faithfulness is worthy of applause. And if you haven’t heard thank you or job well done as of late. Know that you’re seen and...

    Encourage One Another

    “You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains; but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me— the...

    Your Encourager on the Sidelines

    “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16 ESV) When I read this single verse this morning, what came to mind is the list of “put offs and put ons” in the Scriptures, and not just the list in Ephesians 4:17-32 and Ephesians 5:1-21, even...

    To Live is to Suffer With Christ

    The reason I share this, is not for me, but my desire for more for you, than for myself. I give you the only thing I have, which is my story. Many believe that hell is permanent separation from God—meaning you simply no longer exist. For those who have truly suffered, not existing for eternity...

    They Turn From the Truth

    “I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.” (2 Timothy 4:1-2 ESV) What this...

    “And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the...

    You Loved Me

    This song was a collaboration between Tosin Iyawo Ogaga and myself back in December of 2019. We did another one in May of that same year called, "It’s All You." I thoroughly enjoyed these collaborations with Tosin. She and I shared the vocals on this second song that we did together. You Loved...
