  • 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

God's Grace Through Trials

It seems to me in time of trials,
The road of suffering stretches for miles.

Hazards and misery both abound,

Yet it's also where God's Grace is found.



The dusty road, the searing heat,

Sorrow of soul, and weary feet -

All are found on this stricken road,

But it's also where Grace makes her abode.



She has her house set up to feed

Poor souls who pass in deepest need.

She bids them stop and enter in

To rest and then start off again.



Long ago, I found this place,

And rested in the presence of Grace.

Cool water she gave to cleanse my soul:

The road of trials had taken its toll.



Restored, I went on the path again,

And many more times I entered in.

For whenever I failed and fell on my face;

Who should raise me up, but Grace!
