• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

These days, there is only one thing we should marvel at in this whole journey, and that is oh’, how we love you Lord and how we thank you Lord for that broken gift!

When the world crumbles under its own weight of sin and even now suffocates from its own dense foaming out of hate for those who truly love Him, that’s when we know just how unshakable, how unstoppable this love of Love is! Amen!

Glory to the name by the power of your Spirit, we lift it up and commune together, all because of the Lord Jesus Christ, forever! Amen!

Heavenly love reaches out and prays for such a world as well as possible, for the rest Satan fills their heart to do otherwise. Can God deal mercifully upon the rest? Maybe that depends on the extent of our petitioning. For it is only God who can open the heart to understanding. Yet, we know they will sometimes choose hate rather than life.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word
of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

This is an annointed post and one that I agree with entirely! Thankyou,'rock', for reminding is of God's 'heavenly love'.

Dear heavenly Lord

O Christ the healer, we have come
To pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored,
When reached by love that never ends?

Of course, that marvel doesn't excuse us from Christ's admonition to "Beware".

I say yes, even today, we can exhibit that same compassion Jesus himself exhibited on earth according to His same grace that worked within Him. Do you even suppose where this begins to occur? Try, the deep down desires of our heart, which I will openly contest is largely untapped,

It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago; but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have.

(2 Corinthians 8:10,11)​

Well, right there is a timeframe. Don’t blame God because you felt an earlier desire was just all too unrealistic to believe it might actually happen, God desires to bless those who through faith, wait.

There is no end to the promise of what He can do.

Heavenly love has no bounds or limits.

I remember the words of the sermon given recently by a priest during a service of holy communion about the totality of God's love, there is nothing we can do to make him love us more or love us less. As someone who believes that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, I left that service with a new awareness and confidence that God loves each and everyone of us with an eternal love and is present with us wherever we go.

Whenever we are feeling sad and low, whenever we do not feel like talking or praying, we should always hold onto the simple fact that Jesus is head over heels in love with us. When our words and efforts avail us, it is perfectly fine for us to allow ourselves to be held in his arms, embraced and consoled. He knows everything we are going through, he knows not only our hopes and joys, but also our fears, our doubts, and our deepest pain. He loves, he cares, and his presence with us is our refuge, our comfort and strength.

When we are in Christ, we are a new creation. The prodigal came home in tatters and rags, his garments tainted by his life of selfishness and godliness. While still far off, the father rushed out to meet and embrace his own precious son, the one he loved and cared for most deeply, and whose heart would break if he could not see him again.

Ohhh, brother, , how true. What you describe might appear as a microcosm of a chance to glean for a whom struggle over this with every vice designed to substitute that heavenly love, our very nature is such that if not given to the Lord to wash us of every unrighteous and unclean thing in His sight would fail every time. But as you state later, we are finally and thankfully a "new" creation in Christ and heavenly love is now to be had, let us drink from that everlasting fountain of the best He has always wanted for us, , Hallelujah!
