  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Haikus and the like

My mind is fire
In Christ my thoughts are Spring
I welcome new birth

----------

My heart is attacked
Feelings are stormy weather
Jesus is my calm

-----------

Love is the greatest
Nothing can separate us
Jesus died and lives

------

Hopefully Spring comes
The Winter ice slowly melts
New Life is Reborn

-----

Winter is for ice
Spring is the season for change
Summer is just hot

-----

Anger is a storm
An untamed tongue can murder
Words of Life bring life

----

Swimming up for air
I am breaking through the ice
Out of fear to faith

----

A man gains wisdom
He listens to those around
Most are quick to speak

----

The brokenheart waits
The Comforter will comfort
The hurting are healed

---

Praise God for His Love
His hand is open to all
Thank Him for His peace

---

Time is infinite
Time is redeemed or wasted
Time stops for no one

Nice to see Asian influence here.

But I love it also. Nice, short and powerful. For a while I was trying to write one every day but they started to sound the same. I will dig them up.

I just love how haikus/senryus are short and powerful. To the point.

I want you more God
You know all my needs and wants
You give all in love
----

I will praise you more
No matter what people say
My praise is all Yours
------

God gives precious life
God gives me understanding
God gives perfect peace
------

The mind is at peace
My thoughts are captive in You
You are on my mind
------

Freedom is Jesus
I am able to lay things down
I am forgiven
-------

Whatever the case
The enemy may be there
You surround me, Lord
-------

The battle is Yours
My peace is in Your comfort
My mind is all Yours

@jesuslover811 I wanted to tag you here because I saw your post on haikus! It was in the featured thread section and almost responded till I saw teens. I haven't written any in awhile, but this is the writers section if you write other poetry and things.
