• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 something is a pattern and front stage like suicide this month , I try and see what God has to say.
He never fails to give a clear answer.

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.


When we do not make this our life verse we end up in a place of darkness and fall into a pit of despair .
We are not made for this planet. Our souls long for God but when fill that longing with anything but Him not matter what and how much it will leave us empty...

But we are still to care for the earth.

"The lion and the lamb shall lie down together" (but the lamb won't get much sleep).

Sorry, couldn't resist.
What else would I expect from an "Oldwiseguy"??;)

Yes; and the void - the vanity that Ecclesiastes speaks of - can easily be filled with unprofitable things if by prayer and the Scriptures we do not pursue spiritually-minded priorities.

Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Luke 4
5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
