• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Can you make a difference in this world?

What Paul the Apostle said certainly did. One person can change the world with the Lord’s leading!

If the Lord gives you a revelation, write it down, the Holy Spirit will give you the words.

Must you be perfect in everything you say? Even Paul the Apostle needed Luke’s to help him write his revelations of the Gospel of Grace correctly.

Do you deserve the right to do so? You can only do so by the Grace of God, not by your own merit!

Are you capable of writing down what God tells you? Yes, with the Holy Spirit guiding you! Ministers do it all of the time. They are constantly making mistakes in their sermons, but God understands, though people may not sometimes. God’s Grace allows you to do so. Only God is perfect not man. If this were not so the Gospel could not be preached.

Do you need to be a minister to write down what God tells you? No, not at all!

Will God allow you to write such things? Yes absolutely.

What are the qualifications? You must be born again!

If you are truly born again, the Spirit of God lives in you, you would know beyond the shadow of a doubt if you are.

Should you be careful when sharing these words? Yes! Be sure that God is leading you to do so.

Will God strike you dead for doing so? If that were the case there wouldn't be any Bible, Apostles or Preachers. We are saved because we accept the Gospel of Grace, not because we keep the Ten Commandments. That all ended when Jesus died on the cross for all of our sin’s past, present and future!

Can you make a difference in this world? With the Lord at your side, you can do anything.

When the Lord gives you a revelation, He wants you to share it without fear. He is a Loving God that knows your weaknesses and understands your shortcomings and failures. We all have shaky legs getting started!

That is the awesome God we serve. Amen!
