• 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.

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 10/6/2025:
But that God does indeed
Make sense and even if we don't
Understand or even may not by
God's will and way understand
However it is how we need to
Go by God's understanding will and
Just remember He is the way, the truth, and the
Life no matter how our lives work.

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 10/7/2025:
It may be a want but it
Could possibly go into a
Need like with Wifi or a TV
Just to name a few examples
Along with the need to
Pay the bills and put food on the table
May need to get rid of the
Wants to live with in making ends meet.

JPPT1974's Wed Thoughts 10/8/2025:
We may want it but
Really we may not want it
In the very long run and
God provides over for us in the
Needs in what He thinks we need
But in what we want as it may
You see not want we need as think we want.
Difference you see my friends.

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 10/9/2025:
How what we may want
Is not what we need but
What we may NOT want
Is something we NEED as
It is about the long term vs
Short term and how we may need to
Matter of fact Christ in the giving
Us what He feels in would last in the long run.

JPPT1974's Weekend Thoughts 10/10-10/12/2025:
You know there is a saying
That if you marry a spouse
You then also marry over in
That person's family and that
Horror stories over on having the
Family look at the daughter/son spouse
In such a very condescending way
Unless it is the person whom is the
In law that has done something wrong.

Sad part is that the in laws
Whom look at the people who married into their
Family and not giving that person a
Chance as they may be going out
Of their way and that even if
As hard as they try it seems
Nothing that person does is
Ever good for them sadly.

But remember it says something
About the in laws instead of
Something about the person who
Does their best even if it is
Not up to the in laws point of
View and how that it shows over in
Disgust how that the person
Had married not just their spouse
But a family who is toxic.

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 10/14/2025
Really people who have very high
Expectations are only fooling themselves
And in thinking that they
Can ruin a person's life and
Putting them down does say a lot
Really about them and not in a
Very good light as God has to really
Frown on those who put others down
Making them look better and hyping up themselves.

JPPT1974's Wed Thoughts 10/15/2025:
Jesus made marriage and that
He made the husband and wife to
Leave their families to become in
Unity in one but it doesn't mean that
They don't have to have abuse and
Live in such a hostile and toxic
Environment where you are not being
Respected much less being understood.

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 10/16/2025:
You are entitled to boundaries as
God only wants what is best for
Over on those who suffered and
Don't deserve to be treated in
Less than a human kind of way
Remember Jesus walked away from toxic people
Even if they despised Him but even if
Christ calls for us to bring His peace and
Understanding but don't except abuse as there is no
Excuse for abuse and enabling toxic hostile behavior.
