  • 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.

    Temptation to Stray

    Envy and Pride Psalm 73:1-9 ESV Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For they have no pangs until death...

    Divinity

    What do you think it means that Christ was recognized by the Father to be His son with a dove (Luke 3:22) and the fact that the mustard seed of faith grows into a tree into which it is said that birds may land? (Matthew 13:32) Does that means something special to you? Proverbs says that a...

    When your observance to the Law falls short

    When your Torah observance falls short Many people within the Messianic faith focus on a persons acceptance, accommodation and commitment to observing the Torah given Israel. And many struggle with how, when, where, who, why…. in relation to Torah commands. I’ve seen throughout the years many...

    What did Jesus mean "If you love me you will keep my commandments?"

    Hey I know this has probably been posted a lot but I have really been thinking about this verse. I realize and believe works DO NOT save us, Jesus sacrifice does. I have been switching my focus from a life of fear to a life of love. I have treated God, and the people I love most as a a result...

    How come I'm tempted into sinning even though I pray to God to help me?

    Satan always nags me with temptations to sin. And I keep repeating that same sin. But even though I pray to God to help me not turn to it, I eventually fall apart. If God really was controlling my life and wanted me to not sin, then how come I still do it? And how do I prevent it?

    Growing In Christ

    I have had some time to really reflect on my Walk with Jesus. It has had ups and downs and I still struggle, yet He is faithful. I have renewed hunger to grow in the Lord, to know Him more on a deeper level. Really digging into scripture that reveals His heart. I kinda see the Bible as His diary...

    I Need Help Whith My Struggle (I am New Here As Well)

    Hello, all! I'm Caleb (or under this name so people I know in real life don't know my terrible issue), and I'm 18 years old! I was reading a thread on temptation here because I am having some struggle that I am seeking help with. So, I will go ahead and get into that. I have been raised in a...

    No Temptation

    In 2014, I tried my hand at some short devotionals where I spoke them, and I put the words into a Power Point Presentation, and then made them into videos, and I posted them on YouTube. I had forgotten about them until I was going through some of my older writings today. So, I am going to share...

    God values our free will more than he loves us

    I was thinking and I kind of had a revelation. I think another reason why things like abuse and rape make me so angry, other than concern the people it happens to, is because I feel like I would lose my faith if that happened to me. I often feel guilty for all the blessings I have, knowing...

    Foot Washing

    The Lord Jesus reminded me this morning of a writing he gave me 10 years ago. As I read it again, the Lord encouraged my heart, so I am sharing it with you this afternoon, in hopes it will encourage your hearts, too. Saturday, October 13, 2007 I spent the day today in VA/WV. My husband Rick’s...

    Wow! Talk about a license to sin! Come see!

    Well , if this didn’t grab your attention,nothing will. Paul said “ all things are lawful,but not all things are expedient” What do you suppose he meant by this?

    I've Become Double-minded and I feel Empty Inside

    Ill tell you a bit about me. Where do I begin? When I was young I was bullied very badly. I was bullied by kids at school and I was bullied at home by the kids on my block. It put a lot of fear in me. Anyway, as a kid I remember having a dream about my grandmother putting 666 stickers up on the...

    Ask for Prayer About Your Flaws

    So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” Genesis Ch 4 v 6-7. Cain was a pretty awful guy, he had a short...

    Healing

    We are all in the wilderness bitten by spirit snakes-our only hope is to gaze at the one sinless lamb sacrificed on a tree who took upon himself all the venom of our sins and became the brazen serpent of old, in order for us to be healed 8 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a bronze snake, and put...

    Is Lying a Sin, Like Jacob Lied To Isaac?

    Jacob lied to Isaac twice, by claiming that he was his twin brother Esau, in order to receive the birthright blessing in Genesis 27:19-24. He did this under the instruction of his mother Rebecca in Genesis 27:6-13, who in turn was acting in accordance with the revelation from יהוה in Genesis...

    Christ Calling Me

    This is my first blog so here goes! So when I was 19 I was having issues, I was dating a sex/porn addict and got drunk with him on weekends living in many sins. I have such sympathy and compassion for people who struggle with sex addiction. I have since forgiven him for all his abuses...

    We Sow, We Reap

    Monday, October 23, 2017, 1:22 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Broken and Contrite.” Speak, Lord, Your words to my heart. I read Galatians 6 (quoting select vv. NIV). Caught in a Sin (vv. 1-2) Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should...

    OCD about touching meat

    I'm Amber. I know this may sound a bit strange, but I'm afraid to eat/cook meat. Let me explain. I've never really liked that animals were treated poorly before their deaths in slaughterhouses (I know killing the animal is one thing, but I mean the way they are treated before they die). I still...
