• 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.

It was strangely dark. A thunderstorm was blowing up from the mountains, and the clouds hid the sun. Women took their children by the hand and hurried back to the city. People looked at the sky and worried. It was darkness you could feel.


They stood blinking at flashes of lightning that looked like daggers of fire. The eyes, the faces, the fingers, the noise, everything focused on that center cross! From the crowd that circled that tree, words dipped in venom were shot at Him from snarling lips. And they said things like:

“What’s wrong Jesus? Can you save yourself?” “Hey Jesus! You said you’d build the temple in three days.

What’s wrong? Can’t you save yourself?

” 0, He could have saved Himself; but then He couldn’t have saved anyone else. He is a King who failed in the eyes of the world, in order to succeed in the eyes of God.
Those were your sins He suffered for. And He has with His own blood written across all the ledgers of heaven the one word:
