  • 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.

A thead about Him!

Hi everyone:wave:

I would like to tell you all how wonderful our magnificent God really is. An unbelievable event happened to me the other day and I would like to share
it.
At our daily bible study at work my friend read this passage that really moved me deeply. It was 1PETER~ 3:12
FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE
ON THE RIGHTIOUS AND HIS EARS
ARE ATTENTIVE TO THEIR CRY
I was thinking, perhaps God does not hear my cry because I am by no means righteous! The passage moved me so deeply that I shared it with my wife and mother in Law. It was constantly on my mind through out the night and into the next day. I was so sad wondering if He hears my cry. So much so that I wrote in my prayer journal.
" Father please show me that I am inline with your will. I am foolish and unwise. I cannot see your hand in my life. Shout to me my God! I cannot recognize your suddle ways." I wrote this in tears and pain. I waited and looked for Him to no avail all the next day at work. I was severely depressed and felt alone and abandoned when I got home. I decided to go to my room and turn on my computer and check in on this site. I then noticed a private message in my PM box from AllForJesus.It was a new guestbook entry. Upon opening it I almost fell out of my chair...It read

THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS AND HIS EARS ARE ATTENTIVE TO THEIR CRY~PSALM 35:15

How in the world!!! The very passage I was agonizing over was in my PM box sent to me by the first friend I made on here!!! I instantly was overcome with peace and joy knowing that my Father was indeed hearing my cries despite me lacking my own righteousness, He hears me because I have accepted Christ's righteousness in place of my own. For I am but a fool and unwise, He is all there is good in me and yet He took the time to touch me that day. How amazing is His Grace? I went from tears of depression to tears of joy and have been riding high ever since...

He is so awesome!
I prayed this morning that He would give me an opportunity to witness to a friend. Almost as soon as we met up, she asked me ( no prompting by me!) if she could come to church with me this Sunday, and then told me that her 16 year old son had been to "some strange evangelistic thing", and now " keeps reading bits of the Bible!
A definite case of " more than you ask or imagine"!!
Thank You, Jesus!

"His divine power has given us everything we need for life..." 2 Peter 1:3

That power includes discipline for me to practise enought to get into music at uni...

God is amazing. Life throws many difficult things at us, but it is through pain and struggles that we grow the most. And His divine power gives me what need to get through life!!!

we will never find a powerful love as the Lord's
However hard things are to understand, His love is constant.
He never lets me go.
He loves me!!
He holds me through the dark places.
He is faithful.
:amen:
Lord, You are the fulfiller of promises when we abide in You and Your ways.
Your Love, Your Power more of You in our lives.
again :amen::)

Isaiah 40:31 but those that hope in the Lord will renew their strength they will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint

God gives us the strength to do everything that he has planned for us and all we gotta do is hope In the Lord that we will give it to us

isn't that awesome!!!!!!!1

Jesus Christ the Apple Tree

arr. Elizabeth Poston (1905-1987)

Jesus Christ the Apple Tree
The tree of life my soul hath seen,
Laden with fruit and always green:
The tree of life my soul hath seen,
Laden with fruit and always green:
The trees of nature fruitless be
Compared with Christ the apple tree.

His beauty doth all things excel:
By faith I know, but ne&#8217;er can tell,
His beauty doth all things excel:
By faith I know, but ne&#8217;er can tell
The glory which I now can see
In Jesus Christ the apple tree.

For happiness I long have sought,
And pleasure dearly I have bought:
For happiness I long have sought,
And pleasure dearly I have bought:
I missed of all; but now I see
&#8217;Tis found in Christ the apple tree.

I&#8217;m weary with my former toil,
Here I will sit and rest a while:
I&#8217;m weary with my former toil,
Here I will sit and rest a while:
Under the shadow I will be,
Of Jesus Christ the apple tree.

This fruit doth make my soul to thrive,
It keeps my dying faith alive:
This fruit doth make my soul to thrive,
It keeps my dying faith alive:
Which makes my soul in haste to be
With Jesus Christ the apple tree.

Above all - Lenny Leblanc?

Above all powers above all kings
Above all kingdoms
Above all nature and all created things
Above all thrones
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
Above all wonders
You were here before the world began
The world has ever known

Above all wealth
Above all kingdoms above all thrones
And treasures of the earth
Above all wonders the world has ever known
There's no way to measure
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
What You're worth
There's no way to measure what You're worth


Verse 2
Crucified laid behind the stone
Above all powers
You lived to die rejected and alone
Above all kings
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
Above all nature
You took the fall and thought of me
And all created things
Above all
Above all wisdom

And all the ways of man
Above all powers above all kings
You were here
Above all nature and all created things
Before the world began
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man

You were here before the world began
CHORUS

Crucified
Above all kingdoms above all thrones
Laid behind the stone
Above all wonders the world has ever known
You lived to die
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
Rejected and alone
There's no way to measure what You're worth
Like a rose

Trampled on the ground
Crucified laid behind the stone
You took the fall
You lived to die rejected and alone
And thought of me
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
Above all
You took the fall and thought of me

Above all
(Chorus)

(Chorus)
Crucified laid behind the stone

You lived to die rejected and alone
Like the rose
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
You took the fall
Above all
And thought of me

Above all
Like a Rose trampled on the ground

You took the fall and thought of me

Above all

"It was you who split open the sea by your power; you broke the heads of the monster in the waters. It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan and gave him as food to the creatures of the desert. It was you who opened up springs and streams; you dried up the ever flowing rivers. The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon. It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter" (Psalm 74:13 -17).

I was you Lord and still you .
we lift your name over all names!
we were made to love you
jesus we paise you name
we bown down for you
it's your love we proclame.

wonderful maker by Jeremy camp

You spread out the skies over empty space
Said, let there be light
To a dark and formless world
Your light was born
You spread out your arms over empty hearts
Said, let there be light
To a dark and hopeless world
Your son was born

You made the world and saw that it was good
You sent your only son, for you are good

What a wonderful maker
What a wonderful savior
How majestic your whispers
And how humble your love
With a strength like no other
And the heart of a father
How majestic your whispers
What a wonderful God

No eye has fully seen how beautiful the cross
And we have only heard the faintest whispers
Of how great you are

You made the world and saw that it was good
You sent your only son, for you are good

What a wonderful maker
What a wonderful savior
How majestic your whispers
And how humble your love
With a strength like no other
And the heart of a father
How majestic your whispers
What a wonderful God

You made the world and saw that it was good
You sent your only son, for you are good

What a wonderful maker
What a wonderful savior
How majestic your whispers
And how humble your love
With a strength like no other
And the heart of a father
How majestic your whispers
What a wonderful God

how majestic your whispers
what a wonderful God
