• 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.

Grace and resurrection for those who are humble enough to receive Him, trusting in Him to remodel us, the oppressed who understand love and peace. In flesh He gives us a law to remedy the fact this world is not built upon love or peace and promises the wrong shall fail and the right prevail. Bless as you would be blessed and forgive if you want God's forgiveness. God's Will be done, not the will and doctrines of man.

whose forms are bending low,

who toil along the climbing way

with painful steps and slow

come swiftly on the wing.

O rest beside the weary road,

and hear the angels sing!" ... It Came Upon a Midnight Clear



"Truly He taught us to love one another;

His law is love and His gospel is peace.

Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother,

and in His name all oppression shall cease." ... O Holy Night

In ancient times didst give the law

In cloud and majesty and awe." ... O Come, O Come, Emmanuel




" And in despair I bowed my head:

"There is no peace on earth," I said,

"For hate is strong, and mocks the song

Of peace on earth, good will to men.
"


"Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:

"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;

The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,

With peace on earth, good will to men." ... Christmas Bells

You who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing." ... Good King Wenceslas

brighter visions beam afar" ... Angels From the Realms of Glory
