• 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.

Be blessed

I feel like something of an impostor by visiting and posting at this section of CF, yet I feel most at home here. I won't bemoan the latest developments in my marriage except to say that it is not moving in a direction that gives glory to God. Still, I can say that He's been faithful to show me His hand and His love. He brings to my remembrance so many wonderful truths...

"For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him."

(Not that I can claim to be "fully committed", but I strive towards it...)

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."

(If only we could grasp how LIGHT and MOMENTARY our troubles are in comparison with what lies ahead...)

"You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. "

(Does that fact inspire a holy fear in anyone besides me? Nobody knows me the way He does. Yet He loves me...?!?!?!? Dang.)

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."

(Be still. Be still. Be still...)

Blessings, friends.
