  • 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

Do you have to do more than reach out and touch Him?


No Sir!
All I did was to open my heart to Him
and I was filled
with warmth and lasting-comfort

Do you think you could do the same ?

oh yes He is my Saviour
Praise the Lord for His mercy
My heart He has won
and I have Heaven all about me
I fear nothing, for I will not, slip away from Him now
Can this be PROOF that He loves me ?

"The Pudding" refers to the sum-result
of, ALL INGREDIENTS plus
completion of, ALL PREPARATION

The PROOF, or; 'irrefutable evidence collated'
is in the tasting/testing of the finished 'product'

I hope that conveys a MEANING to you ?

It " pertains " dear Sister
to the asking and the answering of, questions
to which we all of us HAVE 'the answers'
but lack understanding of, them

Surely, God, has all the answers
to all the questions, that a man or, woman could ask (?)

All we really need, is a little reassurance [faith]
that when we reach [our time../nirvana]
we will become enlightened
to all the mysteries of, the Holy Spirit

This, 'reassurance' is achieved via His footsteps

'Faith' is rewarded by actions/ achievements/ blessings
no-human could-provide
WITHOUT first, having become 'filled with the Holy Spirit'

I have been, 'turned-away' from DEATH's DOOR
on multiple occasions
I have been alleviated from personal miseries/
the pit of depression/ and self-harming [suicide]

To be repeatedly 'blessed'
with happiness and, fullsomeness of, SPIRIT

These [to-me] 'miracles' are so-many (?)
I am not considering 'coincidence'
But, believe in, the grace of God
through my Saviour, the Lord Jesus

He can make the darkest home BRIGHT
and turn catastrophies into blessings

I 'JUST KNOW' how MIGHTY is His Mercy
for I,
have the COMFORT of KNOWING
that He, is going to see me through this life
That PEACE is mine now

It therefore pertains
to PAINTING THE PICTURE of, our Lord's Love for US
tying together ALL OF, the figments /jigsaw pieces/
and fractions of, the knowledge we share
passed-down to us from all those
that HAVE had 'communion' [their interview] with the Lord

:hug:

WHAT do YOU think this thread pertains to ?

The day, that I was 'nailed to the tree'

I was living in a street called LYNTON ROAD
it was in a Bristol Suburb called 'Bedminster' [in 1969]

My first-wife was expecting our second baby
and, had gone into labour
and was leaking amniotic liquor

We, were not ON THE PHONE and, the nearest phone box was over 700 yards away
using a path through an open space
>inside the block of housing that comprised a near-rectangle of housing
that was permitted to be overgrown with grasses and several burned-out cars

I ran to that phone box and called the midwife
who told me also to call an ambulance URGENTLY

On my return journey, I entered the pathway
that led into the open space and ran past some fencing
that ran down the side of someone's garden

I felt a burning pain in my leg just above my left knee
looking down, I could see no mark on my trousers
but my lower thigh continued to smart
and I could feel my hot-blood flowing down over my shin

I dropped my trousers, to examine the wound
and found a tear a full 5 inches long [125mm]
and could see tendons and muscle meat in the fissure
It was as if, I had been cut with a sharp knife [scalpel]

I stepped out of my trousers and my underwear
twisted my underwear
and slid the two legholes over my leg
to cover the wound and tied my handerkerchief
to hold it fast above my knee
I then got back into my undamaged trousers and ran home
with my left hand applying pressure to my thigh

The ambulance that took my wife to maternity
dropped me off at the A&E at the Bristol Royal Infirmary
after eleven stitches [four, internally] under local anaesthetics
I was at the maternity hospital, to watch son Robin
come into the world

On the way home 03.45hrs I walked back along the path and examined the fence
The only possible cause of my wound
was a six inch nail [150mm]
sticking out into the pathway, a full 100mm [4 inches]

Later that day , I went to the house
and drew their attention to the peril that this nail
could present to an unwary child
it was removed immediately
my scar is now just 3.5 inches long
and 1 inch deep
due-to skin stretching in that area of my thigh[since]

Where ?
does the COMFORT/ PEACE OF MIND/ KNOWLEDGE come-from
What ? takes-over, in such times of, stress and personal danger
EMPOWERING us, to look after others, DESPITE all-challenges
to-self
ENABLING the overcoming of, pain/ panic
and ENSURING salvation and recovery
Watching-over us, He, is, and ALWAYS will-be!
Praise the Lord!
