• 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.

As Thanksgiving is going to be soonering I was thinking about starting a thread with the acronym of ACTS that gets you in a posture for prayer. This is a simple way to bring prayer to the Lord if you don't know where to start.

A - ADORATION
C - CONFESSION
T- THANKSGIVING
S-SUPPLICATION

This thread is a place that you can put your Thanksgiving or supplication in. Or if you want to add your adoration. Confession is very personal and should be between you and the Lord or someone you trust in person to keep you accountable.

I will start with a praise, I called to pay one of my medical bills and they said I had a zero balance. The financial aid I put in for it sounds like paid for everything up to a certain point. I still have yet to get the letter in the mail. I told the representative I felt like I could breathe. I was so relieved and I am praising the Lord for lifting some of that burden.

Confession: I sometimes will gloss over another coworkers contributions that will create unnecessary extra work without allowing them to see the end result.

My conviction led me to come to them in the morning to encourage them about submitting to the supervisor the suggestion and in the end the answer was "if it isn't broke, don't fix it".

Praise: thank you Lord for opening my heart to see that and confess.

Supplication: Lord help me to have eyes to see, a humility to create bridges and ears to hear your Holy Spirit.
