  • 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.

To the saints (the consecrated people of God) and believing and faithful brethren in Christ..... Grace (spiritual favor and blessing) to you and [heart] peace from God our Father.
Colossians 1:2 AMPC



I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].
Philippians 4:13 AMPC


Christ can be defined (in Greek and Hebrew) as The anointing of the anointed one... And it is He Who infuses inner strength within us ... selah (pause and think about that).. let that just sink deep into your spirit and thinking right now.

[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.
Philippians 2:13 AMPC


May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].
Ephesians 3:16 AMPC



Then [Ezra] told them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet drink, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold.
Nehemiah 8:10 ampc

One may ask how?
By praying in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:18)
Meditating in His Word (Joshua 1:8, Romans 12:2)
And making a firm solid decision to walk according to the spirit (Galatians 5:16)... aligning our thoughts and actions, and choosing to walk in God's ways instead of by the worlds ways.

For Romans 10:8 says.....
But what does it say? The Word (God's message in Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word (the message, the basis and object) of faith which we preach, [Deut. 30:14.]
Romans 10:8 AMPC


And according to Matthew 12:34b...
For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks.
Matthew 12:34 AMPC


May you all be encouraged and rejoice for what God can do through you

The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you; The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you; The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
Numbers 6:24‭-‬26 AMPC


The grace (spiritual favor and blessing) of the Lord Jesus Christ (the Anointed One) be with your spirit. Amen (so be it).
Philippians 4:23 AMPC

Cturtle praise the Lord.
No one came by to say hello yet. So I did.
Praise the Lord and indeed IF one truly has His spirit
they do the things which are pleasing in His sight. For it is HE within us working that which
is pleasing in his sight. We can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens us.
So cturtle I want you to be encouraged by what I say next.
The next any preacher or person tells you we are a slave to sin and cant stop.
YOU TELL them the real gospel. Faith in Christ is how we overcome
for it is HE within us , WORKING that which is well pleasing in HIS SIGHT
and our Lord is not the minister of sin. HE teaches us to go and sin no more
we must obey HIs grace which teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldy lusts
and to be walking righteously , godly , soberly in this world.
OUR LORD came to set the captives free. Being then made free
from sin we became the servants to righteousness.
YOU tell them that. And praise the LORD for the only goodness we have
IS HE, within us . You sing it out loud Cturtle. I mean sing it out loud.
And praise the Lord . Yes praise , prase , and raise them hands on high
and just sing glory glory to the LORD.

And what wonderful scriptures you brought.
By our Lords grace, he reveals truth to those who love Him.
And man I have to say their are no words of truth , like the HOLY SCRIPS.
for it was God breathed . And aint no wisdom like GOD...................amen.
I just wish many would pick up the most beautiful book , THE BIBLE
and through faith in CHRIST , them holy scrips sure make one wise unto salvation.
Of course they do. FOR its not mans mind that wrote or spoke it. IT was GOD who moved
through holy men and they spake. and as I said, aint no words like our GOD.
without him , we are lost. BUT IMMANUEL and we have HOPE.

Many blessings and thanks to you my friend. I am thankful that what God gave me in my quiet time today has blessed you and given you a cause to rejoice and sing.

I did sing, but cannot sing outloud right now, but will for sure!
Glory to God! It's always time to rejoice

Blessings of grace and peace be yours in abundance
