• 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.

  • 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.

Authority and more.

And God said let there be light.
Creation now had light to expose it.
God then set the Sabbath as a day of rest.
God would later set aside clean vs unclean animals.
God would also set the tithe.

God establishes authority over things in order to control them and to make them a blessing.
We have the light for safety.
We have a day of rest in order to control our use of time.
We have dietary restrictions in order to stay healthy.
We also have the tithe to control our resources.

All in all its a matter of blessing us beyond measure, as having enough faith to believe and obey is his purpose for our lives.
God's intention is to bless us through these things as a manifestation of his good will toward mankind with us as a living example.
A matter of recognizing his authority over our lives, and our authority as believers to make it happen on a daily basis.
