• 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.

My testimony of times gone by and of where I am now, by God’s grace.

Broken lives fall all to pieces,
Not just one kind, but many species,
Different looks and circumstances,
Sometimes just from happenstances.

The ins and outs and whereabouts
Of why things happen can cause doubts
And fears of future situations,
Depending on our life’s relations.

Some people choose to medicate
Their pain, because they can’t relate
To why things happen as they are,
And why they’ve gotten now so far.

They run away, and so escape
From what is hurting them to date,
But then they find it doesn’t help,
But makes them feel like they’re in hell.

So, what’s the answer? Is there one?
The answer falls in Christ, God’s Son
Who gave His life in death on cross
So He can heal us, soothe the loss.

Not only does He forgive sins,
The Holy Spirit lives within
The lives of those in Him do trust.
And healing lives, it is His thrust.

He’ll heal our hurts and change our lives,
So now our lives on Christ rely.
He’ll give us strength for everyday
To bow before Him, kneel, and pray.

He’ll help us now to walk in truth,
And give not in to those uncouth.
He’ll heal our hearts and give us strength
To live in peace, not short, at length.
