  • 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.

Horrific and tragic for
Those even in His own
Family and loved ones to
Reject Him and that He still
Is being rejected but hopefully
One day that those will come to
A saving grace and eternity with
Jesus as He paved the way for
You and me when we could not do it
On our own there.

Paving the way
Over for us to
Not die our own
Deaths and for Jesus
Who loves us before we
Even loved Him and
Adam and Eve's sin really
Had God put His one and only
Son in our path so that we would not have to
Face eternal separation and
Condemnation forever thanks to Jesus
Really praying those who are not saved can and will be.
Before time runs out.

What Adam and Eve
Did was the very first sin
But also that it paved the way
Over for violence, murders, wars
Famine, just to name a few over in the
Sins but that had we been perfect on this
Earth then Jesus would not have had the
Need to be sent our way but
God was sending Him way before being conceived by
Mary a young teen herself at the time
Virgin as God found favor in her even if she didn't
Much understood but followed God regardless.
Though she was carrying Jesus, really God could had gone to
Anybody but choose Mary in His will and way.

Father's Day Weekend Thoughts JPPT1974 2023:
Yet where the Lord
Jesus came in the
Very humble manger and
Knowing that He would be
Coming back and being crucified for
Our sins who knew no sin
But remember that sin started in that
Forbidden garden and that was when
God was to send Jesus our way, way
Even before being in the
Womb of a virgin.

Need to just
Remember that we will
Live in this world
Until Jesus comes on back
Getting us believers to come
Home with Him or that
When we leave this world
For to be in an eternal world
Jesus paved the way for
Us to come into His gentle and loving
Arms on it and in how that
In going from the OT to that over in the NT
From being sinful and nothing we could do about it
Til Jesus paved that way from the manger to the
Cross and resurrection and ascension
Over 2,000 years ago.

As believers we
Have the advantage a bit
Over for those that are
Not believers but it is
Something we should not
Really brag or say like
Told you so to others that
Don't know Christ just yet
But hopefully they realize that
Without Christ in their lives
They are heading to an
Eternal separation from God and
From others who are believers.
Now in heaven with Jesus.

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 6/19/2023:
Getting in the Old Testament
From Point A to Point B in the
New Testament and how
We were in need to be
Spared death when we
In fact should had been
Crucified but Jesus took our
Place once and for all so
That we would not have to at all
Do it as Jesus knew no sin and died for
You and me both past, present, and future.

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 6/20/2023:
All of us need to be
Beyond very grateful that
We did not have to
Really be beaten and
Crucified and belittled
Due to us being sinners
Jesus paid it all for once
Had not sin entered into the
Old Testament as we would be
Perfect and sinless but sadly
Sacrificed like animals and nearly
A human being to cleanse us in the Old Testament.

JPPT1974's Wed Thoughts 6/21/2023:
New Testament in the very much
Likely despite still sinning but
Jesus paying it all on the
Cross and how that He
Defeated His enemies, past, present, and
Future and paid it all for once
Once for all and knowing that
When we accept and receive Him as
Lord, Savior, and King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Then we will have our place in the
Book of Life and see Jesus and those who have
Passed on before us in heaven and how we
Can thank Christ for never allowing us to
Ever pay for it in sacrifices to animals and
Really do not want to think about what the world would
Do about if Christ did not come as
Very much glad He did come for us and all of
Mankind as we could not do it on our own.

You and I both
Do not want to do things
We do not want to
But need to do
Ever felt that way?
More than once and
Beyond and that it is
Really not the first nor will it
Be the last time but that
It is to keep the peace and
Not sin in the eyes and laws of
God you see!

JPPT1974's Weekend Thoughts 6/23-6/25/2023:
As we may have figured
Out that in doing the
Things and how that they
May not feel right but
It could be in the doing
So in order to do something
We need to do even though we
Really don't want at all to do them
But it is God's will and way for us to
Do them so that we can really in the
Very long run do so the right thing to do.

Do it and to do so
Most of all without complaining
Grumbling and how we
Need to do things over
Even if we don't want to
In doing so but in doing it
Because it is the right thing to do
As that is how we realize that in doing so
For in the not in the grumbling.

Later on when we
Do this we realize that
You and I need to be
Over in doing the things we
Need to do but don't want
But in doing so we will feel
Much more better in doing so
You are not just getting it out of the
Way but you are doing so for it is the
Right thing to do you see.

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 6/26/2023:
Life is all about in the
Doing things that we don't
Want to do but
As it is in the very long
Run in the doing on
So later on it is best to do it
Than not to do it at all
But God urges us in our hearts
In doing so would really
Keep doing the right thing
Even if we feel like not doing it.

It will do you and I
Good in the very long
Run and how that we
Do not need to be grumbling
But do so with gratefulness and
Like we are doing it
For others and how it is in the
Column over in better to give than
To receive that Jesus has
Preached all around my friends.

You and I need to
Do things that we don't want to do
But need to do so
Looking at the short term
Versus the long term
How it could be not just to
Ours but everybody's benefit and
God praising and being grateful but
For us to do so in with a loving and
Really grateful heart as in the long run
People will get what they need from God.

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 6/29/2023:
It is how that
You and I need to
Do things and in the
Very long run it is by
God's asking us so that
We can feel better about it
Plus that by not doing it
Could possibly get nothing done or
By not doing it at all
Someone else may do it but not to the way
It needs to be done as maybe we could do so
Remember it is well worth doing things in the very long
Term vs short term run.

JPPT1974's Pre-July 4th Weekend:
All of us need to do
Things we do not want to do
Like in the doing the
Dishes or in the having to
Vacuum the rugs as
Need to do so not grumbling
Just remember if you do it
One at a time then you don't have to
Redo it as we need to do things
Even if we do not want to do so.

Praying that we will do
Things even if we
Feel like it is in the
Waste of time but
God wants us to do so
It is right and it is the right
Thing to do and remember
He is watching us and makes
Us and how that you and I
Need to do things even if we don't
Feel like it and it is part of being
Imperfect people both you and me.

Keep on doing those things
Even if we don't feel like it
But in the jobs you and I may have
In the not doing on them
We would be out looking at another
Job and how that we need to
Do things that God would do
Even if we don't want to do so
However need to despite the
Fact it is the right thing to do.
