  • 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.

Faith
Nazarene
On the other side of suicide
With no where else left to hide


Alone and forgotten who will hear
My anguished heart and dare to come near


Who will wipe away the tears I cry
Who can answer all my questions why








In a lowly stable on a cold wintery night
Into this dark world came a tiny light


Joy to the world and peace on earth
Heralded the angels of Jesus's birth








Without hope and no reason to live
Inwardly empty nothing more to give


When will the hurt in my heart go away
When will you quit telling me I will be okay


When will this "game" we play end
When will you again be my friend








A carpenter's son in a small town grew
Watching life unfold in the life of a few


Observing the struggles He came to understand
The fraility and weakness in the heart of man








Where can I go to escape this pain
Where can I go to get out of the rain


Where is the place where all is well
A place that is far from this life of hell


Where must I go to escape this life
With all its problems and unending strife








He spoke of His Father intimately
All who He touched were healed instantly


But the darkness was great and His time brief
Jesus knew the sacrifice that would bring relief








Is this my destiny?
To live and die miserably?


What do I do when I cannot cope?
Why live if I have no hope?


A long time I sit and contemplate
The obvious solution to my fate







A nail pierced his hand as He saw your tears
Again flesh was pierced as He felt your fears


One last nail to His feet and it was done
Because of sin man crucified GOD's Son


Father forgive them they know not what they do
Those words spoken that day were meant for you



.....peace.....








What I feel...


Psalm 142:4 I looked on my right hand and beheld, but there was no man that would know me, refuge failed me, no man cared for my soul.


Truth...


Hebrews 4:15a For we have not a high priest (JESUS) which cannot be touched with the feelings (FEELS) of our infirmities (OUR HURTS).....








I See Your Tears



I see your tears
I hear your cries
I know your fears
I understand your whys


And as I came
to comfort and hold
You ran from Me
into the rain and cold


A failure in your eyes
a treasure in mine
You say you've faded
I see you shine


You are weak
but I am strong
Come home, little one,
to where you belong



.....peace..
