• 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.

Developing relationship;

As with all relationships they need to grow and be developed. Same is true with our Heavenly Father. Our relationship when we first come to Him is small unknowing and childlike. This relationship, communication, fellowship needs to grow. This is something we can do. In spite of our failings our doubts and our fears this communication, this one and one fellowship and relating to our Heavenly Father, this coming to Him is something we can do. For this is God’s heart, that we come to Him. For He has promised to come and make His abode in us. We come to Him He on His part comes to us. This desire of our hearts towards Him and His desire towards us meets in the continual state of prayer towards Him. This we can do. This willingness to give all to Him, this utter dependence upon Him, this doing what is right in His eyes... this develops relationship.

This being dealt with from above, this is accomplished by the desire towards it. For all of our relationship with God happens in our hearts and the growth of Him there manifests itself by outward behavior. But it all starts in the heart, this is the place of His abode in us. Our hearts. Than as scripture says;

“we learn of Him”

Be blessed all as this heart relationship with Christ Jesus Himself grows and grows to rule all.

In Christ, Not me

Yes. We begin with trust like a child. We simply trust Him.

Yes as this trust grows in Him, does our love for Him grow.

Be blessed as we grow in this trust and love, Not me

Thank you, yes it is so true we start as babes with the milk ( of the Word) and as our relationship with Him grows, we desire meat (deeper weightier things of the Word) by which we continue to grow closer in our daily walk
Through it we still keep that simple pure child-like faith as a child with our Heavenly Father whilst growing stronger day by day.
Our faith is never stagnant.
