• 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

i read this the other day. it's by louie giglio,
"when God is not greatly praised, it's only because we don't think he's that great of a God. when our worship is small, it's because our concept of God is small. when we offer God little bitty sacrifices, it's because we've some how reduced him in our hearts to a little bitty God. our vision has become clouded, our hearts distracted!
as result our lives shirvel into insignificance and meaningless. we just bump along in this mass of humanity, having no clue what life's all about. we fret. we get depressed. we worry and get bent out of shape. we go down all kinds of dead-end paths as we try to accomplish everything by ourselves.
we lose sight of the reality of all realities:
there's an infinite, limitedless God high and exalted on his throne, ruling with all power and authority over the heavens and the earth. a God who's still running the show-running our lives and running the whole universe on his timetable.
and at this very moment while he holds entire galaxies in place by his power, he also invites us at any time of day or night to look up andbehold him as he is!"
