  • 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

    Who Will Serve the Lord?

    “Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.

    Our God is Testing Us

    Deuteronomy 13:1-5 ESV “If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, ‘Let us go after other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the...

    Liked by Many, but They Cannot Save

    Isaiah 46 (select verses) God is speaking to his children Israel. They were his people by physical birth. So, not all of them were followers of God. Today biblical Israel is comprised of both Jew and Gentile by God-persuaded faith in Jesus Christ via dying with Christ to sin and being raised...

    Who is Lord of Your Life?

    Luke 16:10-15 ESV “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

    Denying God and His Righteousness

    Galatians 5:16-17 ESV “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to...

    All Worshipers of Images

    Psalms 97:6-7 ESV “The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory. All worshipers of images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols; worship him, all you gods!” This reminds me a little bit of Romans 1:18-32 where we read that what can...

    Yokes of Slavery

    Video Talk Galatians 5:1,7-10 “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” “You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I...

    The Worship of Idols

    Video Talk 1 Corinthians 10:1-11 ESV “For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual...

    Easter McFeaster

    Your treasure your pleasures, Indulgent enjoyment, You follow whoever, And praise the flamboyant. The colors and baskets, The eggs all a plenty, The project, you task it, The purpose is empty. The bunnies with ribbons, The trinkets on tables, By greed you’ve been bitten, You then tell your...

    The Will of God

    Old and New Testaments

    There are many parallels between what is taught us in the Old Testament and what is taught us in the New Testament, for God’s moral laws have not changed. And whereas all those old liturgical, ceremonial, sacrificial, purification and dietary laws and restrictions of the Old Covenant were done...

    Calling Evil Good and Good Evil

    Isaiah 5:11-12 ESV “Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink, who tarry late into the evening as wine inflames them! They have lyre and harp, tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts, but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord, or...

    They Always Go Astray in Their Heart

    Hebrews 3:5-11 ESV “Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope. “Therefore, as the Holy...

    Are You Engaged in Idolatry?

    1 Corinthians 10:6-7 ESV “Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, ‘The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play’.” I found this definition of idolatry online: “A...

    Are You Full of Idols?

    Summary Acts 17:16-28 The Apostle Paul was in Athens. His spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols. So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there. Some of the Epicurean...

    While We are Waiting

    Video Talk On September 26, 2011, I was reading in 1 Corinthians 10 for my quiet time with the Lord. And the Lord had me write these words (following) and he also had me write a song titled “When in the Stillness.” The children of Israel had experienced all of God’s blessings and provisions...

    Partial preterism & Preterism: The modern historicist view

    Why is it that the destruction of the temple is seen as the abomination of desolation when the Bar Kokhba revolt seems to line up as a better candidate? It mirrors Antiochus Epiphanes far closer than the first revolt as it even includes Hadrian ordering a temple to Jupiter being built on the...

    Broken Hearts

    Oh, how hearts breaking. Sinners are faking, Lies they are making, Love they’re forsaking. Broken hearts aching. Liars pretending, And not hearts mending, And not love sending, Sin they’re defending, Truth they are bending. Shooting their arrows, Not good bedfellows, Not on road narrow, Lies...
