• 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.

  • 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

Draw Near

James 4:8... Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

Jeremiah 29:13... You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Hearing God's voice, hearing it more clearly is on my heart. The above verses tell us a way to do this - draw near to God and seek Him with your whole heart. How do you draw near to God? How about in a quiet time - where you pray and study God's Word? The more you spend time in His Word, seeking Him with your whole heart the more you will know Him, the more you will hear His voice. This song reminds me of these truths.




In the Secret

Words and Music by Andy Park
©1995, Mercy / Vineyard Publishing

In the secret, in the quiet place,
In the stillness You are there.
In the secret, in the quiet hour I wait only for You
'Cause I want to know You more.

I want to know You, I want to hear Your voice
I want to know You more.
I want to touch You, I want to see Your face,
I want to know You more.

I am reaching for the highest goal,
That I might receive the prize.
Pressing onward, pushing every hindrance aside,
Out of my way.
'Cause I want to know You more.



___________

Psalm 91:1, 4... He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge;


Psalm 46:4, 10... There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
Be still, and know that I am God;


Philippians 3:13-14... But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Thank You Lord for Your love, for Your desire to draw close to us as we draw close to You. Help each of us as we seek to draw closer to You and as we seek to know You better. Thank You that You have promised that as we seek You with our whole hearts we will find You, we will hear Your voice. Help us dwell in the secret place of the Most High, show each of us how to abide in Your presence under the shadow of Your wings. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
