• 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.

So this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who trusts will never be dismayed.”
“Listen and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say…
His God instructs him
and teaches him the right way.”
In that day the LORD Almighty
will be a glorious crown,
a beautiful wreath
for the remnant of his people.
He will be a spirit of justice
to him who sits in judgment,
a source of strength
to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
~ Isaiah 28:16, 23, 26, 5, & 6

Jesus Christ, our Lord, Savior, Messiah and King is our sure foundation for our salvation and for the Christian life. He gives us all the strength, wisdom and understanding we need to live godly and holy lives while we wait for his return.

We turn back the battle at the gate when we use the armor of God, with which he has so amply supplied us, for combatting our enemy Satan, and for resisting the devil, and for fleeing temptation. Amen!

We can always count on our Lord. He will never fail us. He will never leave us or forsake us. We can always depend on him, no matter what we are going through, and no matter how many enemies rage against us. Our Lord is with us.

A Sure Foundation

An Original Work / May 27, 2011

Based off of Isaiah 28:5, 6, 16, 23 & 26


This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See I lay a stone in Zion,
A precious cornerstone,
A sure foundation;
The one who trusts will ne’er be dismayed.”

This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“Listen and hear my voice speaking;
Hear what I say to you;
Please pay attention;
Your God instructs, teaches the right way.”

In that day the Lord Almighty
Will be a glorious crown for
The remnant, His people;
He’s the source of strength to
Who stands against evil; turns from sin.
