• 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.

It is about not causing in
Conflict or in really butting
Heads and how the Lord wants
Us to not fall and fail when we
Realize that it is our fault but
At first we deny it but later on
God's prompting albeit gently reminds
Us to not fall and let the pride get the best of
Us and to show humility and reconciling.

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 10/20/2025:
It is best to admit our mistakes
Not be prideful but show in being
Humble and kind as how it is hard
When we admit our mistakes but
Christ wants us to do so when we
Get to the point where we admit that
Knowing being prideful will get us nowhere
It is about putting others first and to admit our mistakes
Cooperating with others and living and learning.

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 10/21/2025:
You know as a young person I
Wished I could stay young but
Being young is that when I was
Immature and glad I am older as
Age is just a number but it is how
We do things the way God calls for
Us to do when we become maturer in
His way and will for us to follow.

But when you are much
More mature and really feel
You know now than you really
Used to know and it shows
Not just in the growing up but
Also in the growing up in mind and
Spirit as well as heart my friends.

But now when you and I
Ended up being young and
Knowing that we really had to
Be inexperienced in the world and
At life but when we get a bit
More older and that maturer it
Means we are very much grown
Up in age and in experience.

Aging my friend is really a very much
Part of life and that we need to
Be grateful to make it through
Each and every single day
Knowing that our next day could
Be our last and how God made those
Days for us to enjoy and have.

Lives and in order for all of

Free and that it is all from God
Who gave to us gently and lovingly.

It is how we mature in
Life and that when God gives
Us that in life as we have both a
Birth date and a death date
Just remember life is precious
Short and that it comes from
God only and how we need to
Really go from being immature to
Being on mature my friends.

God had a different age when
We leave this world and
How that when we were
Younger we would be in the
Feeling on being less prepared but
God calls us to remember that we
Will learn from Him as long as we let Him.

Age is such just a number

And grow in God's eyes and in
His spirit, truth, and understanding
You see there my friends.

Young when we have youth
But that we are inexperience and
Immature and how we need to
See on experience and in the
Having our heart, mind, and soul
Over in God's eyes in being wiser, experienced
A quiet gentle breeze in us knowing more
Than we used to know.

How when we are much
More experience and much more
Over in the experience as that
We know more than we know now
And that really to be honest with
You all as glad I am not in my
Twenties as somehow thought
Initially being young would be something to be
Very excited on about it.

Experience really matters and
Life here Is not an exception and
Youth could be immature and if
Saying on this is that young people
Could learn over from their elders
Like their parents and grandparents
Plus to know more than they will
If they grow up older and maturer.
Over on it when comparing youth vs experience.

Life is about in being young
And enjoying youth but keep in
Mind that respect in life these days
Is earned and not given and
Plus when we are or were young
Should had been given advice from
Those who have been there and done that.

Glad that when you are much
More mature and that in having
Experience and knowing that when
We do on that just remembering
How we used to be so naive and
Very young and didn't know more
Than we used to but God helped
Us and was with us all the way.

But when we grow up and maturer
Quietly yet effectively than we used to be when
You and I were very young but
Now God helped us even if
We didn't understand it at the time
But God did and that He knew that
In needing to rely upon Him we grow
All around and God helps us in the thing we call life.

But that is how we can view
Youth as being immature and
Not knowing more and that
God was working quietly in
Us and how experience we end up
Maturing and end up in growing in
God and to really be the kind of
Believers that can pass it onwards to those
Who need over in a life lesson as
Christ wants us to have growing pains to
Grow in a way we need to be.
