• 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.

Hello, my dear family!

Please pray for me! I need the strength of God for me to be bold in and around my family...not not be ashamed of my salvation, but in fact to stand up for it and to witness to them!!! Please pray that I would just not have the absence of fear, but the courage to step over it! How may I also pray for you my family?

Thank you so much, I love you all, God bless!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Sometimes the hardest people to witness to are the people who are closest to us. The issue is often that you don't want to risk the relationship in case they don't receive the message favorably.

Perhaps a route would be to consider the weight of the decision of faith in Jesus. You want to see things happen? Be strong and courageous! Try to open up an introductory dialogue with your family/friends, and in the meantime, search out the reasons why you believe as you do, and stand firm in God's Word and Promises!

Lord, give my brother boldness to speak Your Truth, and give Him Your Words as he goes in Your Name to win his family and many others in the future to Your Kingdom, in Jesus' Name, Amen!
