  • 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

Ok, this started out as a poem, but i decided it was a better lesson.

WHy is it that we never pray until something happens to divert our lives in ways that we dont like? Isnt that selfish?

WHY is it that we never call for help until our plans are messed up beyond fixing so no one is able to help? Isnt that stubborn?

WHY is it that we wont give up until the thing we have grasped so tightly finally slips slowly away? Isnt that stupid?

Wouldnt life be so much simpler if we pray every day, if we ask for help from the start, if we let go of something that will only hurt us?

Wouldnt life be som much simpole if God was the center of our lives?
Not money,
Not fame,
Not fortune
But God.

Two simple words: But God. Two simple words that are so hard to say at times. We like to not acknowledge that God is the center of our lives. We can do things by ourselves. WE dont need help. WE, WE, WE. No.. it should not be that way. It should be GOD GOD GOD.

WE are sinners, BUT GOD sent HIS son for us.

WE should all die, BUT GOD loves us more than we can ever imagine.

WE spend most of our time thinking about us, BUT GOD spends ALL of HIS time thinking about us...his children.

Life gets hard. BUT GOD is always there...by our side, helping us through the night. He helps us through everything we go through. WE dont do anything by ourselves. Nomatter how independant we think we are, we ALWAYS need God. We may stray, BUT GOD pulls us back. We may sin, BUT GOD forgives and forgets.

Now, how much of your life is going to be spent thinking BUT GOD?

We think we can do fine on our own.... not true,
We think we can manage our lives alone... not true,
But why do we not remember what He has gone through...
for each and every one of us..... us sinners who were to be doomed!
Why do we either alter from the right trail--
Or in the middst of our journey we start to bewail?
Let us seek that Greatest love of all,
And He shall hold us so that we may never fall!

I wrote this poem sometime ago... Back then, I was sitting alone in a park... and I just thought.... how wonderful was everything that grows on its own! But I realized then that it is God who takes care of it... because it's all a masterpiece that He has created, and it's so great altogether!!



NATURE MASTERPIECE
See the sun when it rises with grace;
When the darkness leaves no trace;
The gentle wind approaches in the vicinity;
And the blossoms dance in vanity;
In a callous trend over the fields;
Teasing the birds inside their shields;
Together in harmony they form a masterpiece;
A work of art that takes your heart to peace;
Hear the music in the magical breeze's rhymes;
Among the birds, flourishing buds, and thymes;
A Uniquely made orchestral theme;
Complete with the soft sounds of the stream;
Feel the pliability all day long;
It's all made by Holy hands with no wrong;
Then watch how faintly the sun goes down;
Spreading orange and red all over the horizon;
Creating a portrait for all to be shown;
A goodbye gift for the members of the zone;
As if telling them, "Until we meet again,
Keep the symphony as it's not in vain,
For what we does is for our Creator;
The king of the Universe; our protector."
Tell me of that picture you see so true;
But try to remember before you do;
That this real piece of art;
Needs protection from a tender heart
