  • 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

Hi Marsha and everyone else,

It's damp here, but quite warm. Did a spot of digging in the garden before lunch at hubby's favourite Chinese restaurant. It was a good time to do it as the rain came on during lunch. Yesterday when we were in the garden he pointed out a sunflower in a rain water barrel. I don't know how it got there, but it was one that was given to me a few years ago and I thought it had died.

Have a great day!

Gillian

I am with you Tom...I was just reading in 1 Peter again...then went to Romans 9...I have Matthew Henry's commentarY ON ROMANS 9...Being justified by faith in Christ!!!!! So simple, but many miss it and think they can work there way to heaven or be good enough to make points with God. Or that they have to work for something to please God...Jesus did it perfectly for those who believe in Him...and those who believe in Him will never be ashamed.
Man I get excited over this!!!!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::clap::clap::clap::wave::wave::wave::angel:

:amen: I also get excited about many things in the Bible - especially about events to come. Let's just say that these are interesting times that we live in for Bible Prophecy. In the meantime - KEEP LOOKING UP!

1 Corinthians 15:50-58 KJV 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 KJV 9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; 10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 KJV 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 KJV 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Revelation 3:10 KJV Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Wouldn't you know - my replacement router was a dud and only lasted two days. I just got the replacement for the replacement, and it appears to be up and going good. Let's hope so.

It's raining here as I type at a little after 3 AM. Thank you Lord. Now I have to catch up on my posting and reading again. Have a great weekend. :wave:

Hang in there Tom Bro' :thumbsup:


It seems like... just, 'staying online' ... is hard work, for some of us

My Graphics card, is really playing up since early yesterday
and screen is really unreadable [outside of SAFE MODE] on DELL

I must, give 'notice' * therefore, that I am very likely to be absent [for a while]
and maybe, also for extended periods

Know, that I will [now]
be attempting to get another computer I have [(upstairs) Compaq Presario 64bit] up and running
It's been sitting-around, useless, for @ 5years
I don't think I can afford to buy another [compatible] graphics card, for the Dell
not while I still have the car.... monies do not stretch to have enough 'to-spare',elsewhere


* heads up

Mary has given me access to her computer this morning
So, I am using this time ~to bring everyone 'up-to-date', with my predicament

I'll be back .... Whenever I can :thumbsup:

your Bro'
