  • 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

Beloved ones, we heard:

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh FOR US a far more EXCEEDING and eternal weight of glory;”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:17‬ ‭KJV

So light affliction is not only working for us, but also for apostle Paul.

This we heard apostle Paul said:

Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am EXCEEDING joyful in all OUR tribulation.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭7:1-4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So we perceive and understand what EXCEEDING
that light affliction worked for us and apostle Paul, is EXCEEDING joy.

For we heard apostle Paul said that he was EXCEEDING joyful in all OUR tribulation. So apostle Paul was not only referring to his tribulation but also to us, that is, our tribulation.

Beloved ones, let us be also filled with comfort, that we also be EXCEEDING joyful in all OUR tribulation. So let us receive what He boldly have spoken to us.

Selah

For we heard our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worked for us A FAR MORE EXCEEDING and eternal weight of glory. So our light affliction, worked for us not only EXCEEDING joy but MORE, and not only MORE, but A FAR MORE EXCEEDING JOY in our tribulation.

This is also what we heard apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians:

“and by their prayer for you, which long after you for the EXCEEDING
grace of God in you.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So our light affliction also worked for us a far more EXCEEDING
GRACE OF GOD in us, by their prayer for us, which long after us.

Who prayed and longed after us ?
In 1 Thessalonians, we heard apostle Paul, Silvanus, Timothy, that they said:

“We give thanks to God always for you ALL, making mention of you in our PRAYERS,”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“So, affectionately LONGING FOR you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Beloved ones, let us pray, and make mention of our brethren in our prayers and long after our brethren affectionately,and let us be pleased to impart to them not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because they had become dear to us.

For light affliction also worked for them a far more EXCEEDING
GRACE OF GOD in them, by our prayer for them, which long after them.

Selah
