• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Thank you @By_the_Book. I would consider myself a new Christian - not in years, but in practice. Without having to check for Bible verses relating to this topic the first thought that comes to mind is: to know that you are protected from all evil. The hand of God, I feel, is a protective force.
And now, I must check the Scripture to see what it says...

Just a thought / question to ponder and comment on.
To know that you are in the hand of God, is to know that...
That no one can snatch you from His hand.
John 10:
27
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them,
and they follow Me.
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

God's protection definitely comes from being in His hand.

The security of our salvation is without a doubt a benefit of being in God's hands.
