  • 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

Just re-found one of my favorite Bible verses this evening at smallgroup, and thought I'd ask what some of your favorite verses are as well. :)

But youa chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
1 Peter 2:9

Somehow, I love concidering myself a "Peculiar" person. :D
 
Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you decalres the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future' Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Especially since I'm just entering college, it helps remind me that God has a plan for my future even if I'm uncertain about it.

My favorite verseS :) are Philippians 2:4-11

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obediant to death--- even death on a cross!

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

I love that verse also :)

I think that one of my favorites is Isaiah 40:31

"but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

With all that I have gone through in my life and knowing there is going to be a lot more, this too is my favorite Bible verse!

I also really like Psalm 139:14

My favorite verse would be Isaiah 53 vs 6;


All we like sheep have gone astray we have all
turned to our own way, and the LORD has laid
on Him the iniquity of us all.

I also like

If your heart is as my heart then give me your
hand.

Although I don`t know where it is, I will try and find it.

And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

2 Kings 10 (I think)

Mark :)
