  • 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.

God is good.

Hello to all fellow believers. Just a quick note of praise and thanksgiving to your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Who has saved us from the wrath to come. May all your hearts be filled with all wisdom and knowledge and all understanding.

All of Christ Jesus and nothing of us. For we are told that when He died we died, that we might be a new creation. Created in righteousness by righteousness, for righteousness. Blessing to all! :amen:

That I might gain Christ and finish my course. Being found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own, but one that comes though faith in Christ Jesus. That I might get my “well done thou good and faithful servant”. And I sure your heart cry’s for the same thing. Blessing to you my friend in Christ! :)

Amen!!! Looking forward to hearing God sing and to see His face. Can you imagine actually "seeing" God's joyful face while He SINGS???!!! How precious is THAT???!!!

"The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing." ~Zephaniah 3:17

I never seen or thought about God actually singing over me, but that’s what the scripture says. Got something new to chew on, thanks! :)

Edit; yes and seeing his face, sometimes it’s a bit scary but love overcomes all.

I have thought that the greatest thing in heaven is the ability to love the other individual. Seeing how love is the greatest thing in heaven. And he that can love the other individual more is greater than him that loves less. And how can we be one that can love more. By having more of Christ formed in us in the here and now. For Christ is love. Your thoughts?

The greatest thing in heaven is God Himself, to see His face, and giving Him glory. Isn't that the reason we want to be in heaven?

Well yes, God is the greatest thing in heaven. But is not God love? To be filled with Him would be the same thing as being filled with love. Think we’re have a terminology problem. So suffice it to say God is good! And to love Him with all our heart soul mind and strength, that works for us. :)

Yes, love is a "given", amen? There's no way it would be absent if one is in heaven, and that is because they love the Lord God with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength. And as such, would long to see the One they've been "homesick" for, amen?

Haaa, well said! This is not our native country. Our hearts long to be released from the body of this death, to the freedom of the children of God. This is our inheritance, such a treasure in an earthly body.

But the longer we’re here, the longer Christ has the opportunity to form Himself in us. (i.e. be changed into His likeness) All of Him and nothing of us, let that be our hearts desire. :)

All of Him and nothing of us surely means, bottom line, that our hearts desire is to see the One Whom we love with all that is in us, amen?

Once again well said. Amen amen and amen. :amen:

Ps, I’m still a little nervous about seeing Him face to face. You?

Why would you be nervous about seeing Him face to face?

Isn't He your Father?

Yes he is, but I can intellectually consent to that truth, but to know it by experience is still in the “working it in me stage” :)
