  • 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

Be Lifted Up!


Psalm 145:13-14 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made. The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.

Look at this promise (v14)- the Lord upholds ALL those who fall, not some, not a few, but ALL, thru ALL generations! Look at this together with the verse before -- He is all powerful, everlasting, everpresent, ever ready to uphold and sustain all who fall. Think of the mighty Lord bowing to lift up the bowed, of Him stooping to be leaned upon by the weak. Remember this next time You feel weak or bowed down; however low you fall or feel, you are we are not below the reach of God's hand. Lift up your head, reach for His helping hand.

Psalm 121:1-2 I lift up my eyes to the hills- where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Lord of Hope, of all comfort, remind those who are low today, to turn to You, to cry out to You, to reach for You. Thank You that You are everpresent, that You uphold all who fall and lift up those that are bowed down. Lift each of our heads to You today & always. Thank You that as our heads are lifted, our hearts will be restored with Your peace and joy. In the name of Jesus Christ.

Psalm 3:3 But you are a shield around me, O LORD ; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.

Psalm 24:9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Be Lifted Up!
