• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Let us stand still, and admire and wonder at the love of Jesus Christ to poor sinners; that Christ should rather die for us, than for the angels. They were creatures of a more noble extract, and in all probability might have brought greater revenues of glory to God: yet that Christ should pass by those golden vessels, and make us vessels of glory,-oh, what amazing and astonishing love is this! This is the envy of devils. and the admiration of angels and saints.

" Henceforth the wise man
Can witness the scenes of the World
And listen to the song of the wind....

He will go calmly and
Will pass through the ferocity of the cities...

He will love the deep places, the fields,
Goodness, order, harmony....

Casting aside passion
And wary of
Worldly usages,
He will prefer landscape."
---Verlaine

When Christ said: ''I was hungry and you fed me,'' he didn't mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness. He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by. Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.

--Mother Teresa

"Why don't we really get radical for once? Yes, I know it wasn't easy to
get the word radical understood as an adjective appropriate to discipleship.
And yes, it was even harder to get revolution and revolutionary so
understood. But do you think it a bit more than the traffic can bear for me
now to push on to anarchy? Do you see me going from bad to worse? Not so. I
stand prepared to show that to go from revolution to anarchy is to go from wrong
to right, from misunderstanding to understanding, from unbiblical to biblical, from
world to gospel. And yes, it will take another transforming renewal of our minds to understand anarchy as the gospel, the good news it actually is".
