• 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.

The non-Christian thought it was the most friendly place he had ever been, for the little girl sitting beside him greeted him with, "Hello I haven't seen you before, I do hope you like it hear?" When the first item of praise was announced she handed him a hymn book and for the scripture lesson her own Bible.
Then when the text was given out she squeezed a peppermint into his hand.

Is it any suprise then that the visitor returned again and again, and then one day gave his life to Jesus.

We need to imitate that little girl's example for sure.
This is so true. A little true story. One day some Christian people from India (about 6 or 7) were visitng our church (in fact it was Holy Friday). So many people were saying, "O look at those Hindus, what are they doing in 'our' church" (because the visitors were wearing their beautiful traditional clothing). Having been outcast before in our lives, my friend and I decided to greet the visitors after church. We went to them and had a most wonderful time talking to these beautiful Indian Christians, who were deeply reverently, yet passionately in love with Yeshuah. We showed them about and invited them to come and join us for the next days and for Resurrection Sunday. Fortunately many others dropped their suspicions and began to greet them as well. We invited them to eat with us. I was so happy we greeted them. To our wonderful surprise they came back for nearly a week completely, until it was time to return to India. They promised to visit us each time they come. I thank God for the blessing they were, and that He helped my friend and I to show His friendship.

Aren't Children amazing? Surprisingly this post makes me want to weep. Children as so innocent and lack any sort of prejudice or judgement.

Wow. If only we werent all like that.

God Bless, metal.

In a way we need to look
At children and behave like them
Sometimes if you know what I mean!

Absolutely!

Christ instructed us to become like Children because Children shall inherit the Kingdom of God.

Matthew 18:3
And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

God Bless, metal.
