• 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.

I came across this quote last night, and thought it was worth posting here...



"The world is like a bridge.
Pass over it, but do not settle down on it!
He who hopes for an hour may hope for eternity! The world is but an hour: spend it in devotion, for the rest is of no worth."

- The mosque of Fatehpur Sikri (ca 1569).

"Some are preaching out of jealousy and rivalry.
But others preach about Christ with pure motives."
Philip. 1:15

I hope I can rejoice in the Lord's blessing the labors
of other good men. It is indeed a sad spirit when
ministers are jealous of each other
, and would
rather cavil and find fault with each other, instead
of desiring that the blessing of God might rest
upon them and their labors. Oh that miserable
spirit of detraction and envy, which would gladly
pull others down, that we might stand as it were,
a little higher upon their bodies! Where is there any . . .
true humility of mind,
simplicity of spirit,
brotherly love, or
an eye to God's glory,
when this wretched spirit is indulged?

If Mr. Pride gets a wound in the head, it will
not be the worse for the grace of humility.
