  • 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.

Dave, I think you are feeling better, in spite of
or thanks to some medical care...((((((hugs))))).

Thanks Shirley Sis'
My journey continues ~'step, by step'
and, for so much longer and with such love
than I did once, not believe, I would ever see again

It is such a wonderful experience, to feel, as blessed as I do [also, have been]

I have, on several occasions today... 'felt' so very-tired
as if, were I to close my eyes, I would drift off to sleep

But, first the ceramics class, followed by shopping and then, Mary's evening meal...
somehow, each 'episode', just passed me by
It is now 16 minutes after midnight, and my day has been another blessing
:hug:





Hi Gail....safely home,
but very glad to have gotten away for a few days.

:amen:
I am happy to read of your few days 'break' and look forward to the photos

now you need to rest :hug:
Praying for your rain :pray:

I've been reading various portions of God's Word and want to share a beautiful Chapter of Scripture with you. I won't post it all here since it's a full Chapter. When you get a chance, please read John 17. Except for a brief introduction, it's all the words of Jesus Christ. It's a prayer from Jesus Christ for His ministry. In short, I think it's a powerful portion of Scripture that speaks volumes. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

John 17

New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Prays to Be Glorified

17 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.
3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.
5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

6 “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world.
They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them.
They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you.
Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me,
so that they may be one as we are one.
12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me.
None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world,
so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.
14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world
any more than I am of the world.
15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,
21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.
May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—
23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.
Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory,
the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you,
and they know that you have sent me.
26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known
in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

Thank you for linking to it here Bro' Tom

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you,
and they know that you have sent me.



This is quite wonderful...I see everywhere that the world does not know the Father...many "think" they do...wow!!!!!! Jesus says HE KNOWS the Father...this is powerful! Jesus IS the truth! He cannot lie.

Lord, thank You for the faith to believe in Jesus, to believe in You thru Him...thank You for eternal life.

"Wait until morning, things will be different then"

I was 'alone' out there in the darkness
but, those words were all around me and within me
They were so softly spoken and filled me with hope
~perhaps, my spouse and I would be reconciled

I 'obeyed'

and the truth of those words
became apparent with the sun

Not, as I had hoped at that time
but certainly there was resolution
~an end to the torture that my heart had felt for so-long
and, this came, within minutes of my awaking, later

'Trust in God, we say to people', and, 'He will save you'

We know it to be true
Psalm 23

Really cute shot Dave...


I am slowly getting going this morning,
feels so good to just be in my house again,
what wonderful simple comforts. Thank You Lord.

Thank you Shirley Sis'

When we realize
that it is, all of the 'little-things'
that bring us so much pleasure
we learn, then, just how 'rich', we truly are, in His grace

Just checking in folks. Bless you all....my christian cyber family. I was just wondering, if any of you happen to be travelling to Canada. I would surely have you stay here. Is this too open and generous? How would any of you feel having one of us pass by your home sometime?

Hiyah Yvie Sis' :wave:

It is not something that I am planning to do anytime soon

[Q: "Is this too open and generous?"] Not at all Yvie Sis'...
"knock, and the door will be opened to you"

Christian hospitality, is quite unique

Some spouses, however, may find that they have
more than a sense of disquiet [suspicion]
and, be against such openess, then being shown [?]
:prayer:

I would love to tour Canada and the United States
and to visit my Family in Christ...
This may have-to be postponed, until we meet up, in that "mansion of many-rooms"

:wave:
