  • 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.

    Do You Believe That God Works Through You?

    1 John 4:7 says "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God." This is not talking about the human feeling kind of love that the world always talks about, but it's talking about agape, the God-kind of love. So, the question is, do...

    Faith Working through Love

    Only Faith Through Love Galatians 5:2-6 ESV “Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be...

    Would You Love Him?

    If You Abide John 8:31-33 ESV So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it...

    "...IN LOVE..."

    There's no clear definition as to what it means to be in love, each with its own fantasy stories/feelings as to why they think they are in love. However, either one loves naturally or romantically, speaking the truth is an integral part to ones claim to love/loving. Also, its a weapon/defence...

    Spotlight on Heresy

    Imagine a forum where those who are washed in the Blood of the Lamb, and who have God's Righteousness imputed to them, could celebrate together the Joy of Salvation, the Joy of the Lord, and find deep teaching for their spirit and rest for their soul. Imagine a forum where Grace rules in the...

    Your WORKS won't do it.

    There are NO verses in the Bible, both Testaments included... that say Jesus, once in you, will leave you if you are a bad Christian, etc. He is sealed in there, along with the Holy Spirit, unless the bible is lying. Jesus does promise you Eternal Life, and this promise has NO CONDITIONS, once...

    But Take Heart!

    Based off John 13-16 Tomorrow I will turn 70 years old, Lord willing. It is hard to believe that I have lived that long. And, the next day will be the year 2020, which is also so unbelievable, too. It seems so futuristic. It brings back memories of old SCI-FI movies I watched as a child or as a...

    What does the new commandment look to you like? Are you similar to your brothers in its expression?

    Hi there, So I just thought I would make it easy for myself: what does the new commandment look like to you? Is there a specific way, a love language, that you would like the new commandment to be rendered to you? How would someone new to faith love you? I personally love it when people do...

    Lost Opportunities

    The Lord reminded me this morning of this old poem I wrote in 1984: Spring 1984 Lost opportunities to share His love, To touch a life, to show you care, Touch a hand, help mend a heart Broken down with grief and despair. Lost opportunities to be a friend, To share a smile, to shed a tear...

    His Gentle Whisper

    An Original Work / December 12, 2019 In the stillness of the moment, As I sit here in the silence, I am talking with my Savior, And I’m listening for His kindness. I can hear His gentle whisper, As He breaks through all the hush, And He tells me that He loves me, Which He does, so very much...

    You Loved Me (Song)

    On November 27, 2019, the Lord Jesus gave me a poem to write entitled, “You Loved Me.” So, I posted it on the internet. Then, one of my fellow Christian bloggers and friend, Tosin, read the poem. And, she responded to it with a tune for the poem, so it could become a song. God had given the tune...

    Some Thoughts: Is The Pursuit Of Joy Required For Salvation And Obedience To Jesus?

    I do not believe that emotions—not even the emotion of joy—is to be the object of our pursuit of God. The Bible is clear that the heart—the seat of our emotional being—is desperately wicked and “sick.” Our emotions are shaped by our experiences in life—our past experiences. How one person...

    You Loved Me

    An Original Work / November 27, 2019 When I was lonely and afflicted, You were there to pick me up. You took me in Your arms, And You tenderly held me. Your love embraced me. Your grace sustained me. When my heart cried out to You In my despair, You did not shun me, But You let me know that...

    What to do when you've been as kind as can be, and they still torment you?

    I thought that by being kind and caring to the people who try to hurt me, that they would eventually become a friend. But after years of trying I am at a loss for what my next move should be. Do you guys have any thoughts about this type of situation?

    Hello everyone, My boyfriend and I were starting to look for a place to live since, we were talking about us getting engaged and getting married. I was about to look around for us to get on waiting lists for low income housing, since it can take awhile to find a place. We were hoping to have...

    Beggar & Good Samaritan

    My wife and I cried as we watched this short video. The video (link below) illustrates how the world can see the love of Christ in action and shows how it can make a difference. This is how we preach the gospel. Not with our words (most people have heard them already), but through our actions of...

    Give me the world! Make me the greatest!

    Hi there, So prophetically we know that Jesus said "God will separate the sheep from the goats and to the sheep he will say "enter Heaven" and to the goats He will say "go to Hell"" (from memory). And we marvel that God's word about the afterlife is true, when there are so many differences...

    Alain de Botton on Love etc.

    A fan thread for author and speaker Alain de Botton. I somehow got to watching videos about marriage and relationships and eventually stumbled on this video. It's a funny but also thought provoking video from a obvious secular author and thinker on modern relationships. He spends the...
