  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Bury Me

I stand before you, my clothing is torn
My life denying the right it was born
My ways are without You, my tongue scorns Your name
Lord look not upon me, my past is my shame
But You looked beyond me, the things I had known
You cast off my sin and You led me back home
For You alone God will I give my life
Take it now Lord, a real sacrifice
For You alone can give mercy that's true
So please bury me now… my past dead for You

Lemme know what you think :)

I really like the last line, it ties it all up nice and neat. it shows that you truly made the choice to let everything go and grab on to Jesus. I also like that you comment on how tore back you are e.g. torn clothes and shame and how he still loves you and gives you mercy even though you scorn him with your toung, great contrast. i like it. :)
