• 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 10/13/2025:
Understanding feelings and also in showing
Sharing empathy and sympathy and in
Giving not just our resources like money
But in our time and in the spending time
Sharing on things as well bearing
Each other's burdens in a time of need and
Understanding that Jesus would be doing.

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 10/14/2025:
When we share on the resources and
Mainly on time and how Christ did so
While He was on the earth before the
Brutal cross and snide remarks and brutal beatings
Adding a long with it proving
He cared about us and wanting to share in
Salvation in Him and knowing eternity is
Made possible in Him when we leave this earth for
Eternity and for seeing Christ and those who have
Gone on before us my friends.

JPPT1974's Wed Thoughts 10/15/2025:
If we are given the way
Over in the resources and in
The needs over in the
Giving of and it is not the
Resources that as much as it
Is very kind to do so it is
About much more than the resources
Could ever at all be given.

It is about time and how
We use over in the way we have
Efforts and in time that we
Can give as long as we are
Very much sincere and gentle
Christ looks at our hearts to
Make sure we are doing just that.

Those who are less fortunate than we are.

Life is about in giving
On those that have very less than
We could ever and how that
Christ in His very busy schedule
When He was on the earth for
Very short three years as He
Made time and never said no
Really when we get busy and
How it is hard to say no.

We don't want to disappoint
On others and that we don't
Really want to say no and
How more and more demands that
Come up over in our schedule and
Really it is about taking things
One at a time and we can't or not
Expected to perform over in miracles.

JPPT1974's Mon Thoughts 10/20/2025:
We may have to say no to
Some things when it becomes so
Crowded and we can't breathe
But that is why God doesn't want
Us to get overcrowded that it ruins
Over in our emotional, mental, physical, and
Most of all our spiritual health!

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 10/21/2025:
Pet peeve of mine is when
Expectations become way too high
And that we can't keep upt
Over in the demands as that
Really we think that it is about
Us but that it is not really about us
Even if we feel like it and how when the demands are
Very high it can cause us to suffer.

It can cause us to have
Health problems and it can
Cause us to really not being able to
Breathe but that it is how
We need to use those resources and
Our time and energy one step at a time
Knowing that we need to be OK to not
Say no every once in awhile.

We may have the resources and
Need to give on effort and time and love
Unconditionally and in hoping to really
Realize it is not us but on
Those who really expect us to
Meet on every demand and how
Their expectations while ignoring our mental and
Emotional health says something about them!

JPPT1974's Weekend Thoughts 10/24-10/26/2025:
Remember we know we have the
God who understands and that when
Our burdens become very much in
Such a huge demands that hurt our
Health all around we need to relinquish
Control and give it to those that will
Lift our burdens by God's orders and will.
He doesn't want us to exhaust ourselves into
Illness but it is OK to give up control to those as
Needing to take it one step at a time, one day at a time.

Emotional and mental health is
Going to be in the really in
Physical health that used to
Outshine the emotional and in the
Mental health as people that have
On a mental illness as glad it is
Going out over in the open and
Sadly these days it should had happened
Much more earlier on it.

Christ knows when to say
No and when to say when and
How to do so in a kind and Christian like
Way and that is the way it is OK
To not be OK and in the process
Sharing that we are human beings
Who have feelings and in having
Hurts along the way you see.

JPPT1974's Tues Thoughts 10/28/2025:
Keep in mind when the Lord Jesus
Came with His Disciples and taking
On the form over in the Servant of all servants
Plus that He needed rest and
Really needed to breathe and
Very much needed to be healed
Up due over to rest and to know He has
Limits when He came upon the world emptying
Out Himself to be both God and Man combined.

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 10/30/2025:
How that Sundays are days that
Need to be about church and family
It is how that back then when
The Bible says to keep it
Holy on Sundays but sadly not
What the world says and does
But really need to be emotionally and
Mentally as well as spiritually alert
We are not alone and it is OK to be OK.
Contrary to what the world thinks
Always take time for yourself as it is not foolish.
Jesus did that on the three years He was on the earth.

JPPT1974's Halloween Weekend 2025:
How the very first sin came
When the world was sin free
But Adam and Eve the very
First two people and in the very first
Couple and first married husband and wife
Forbidden to eat in the Garden of Good and Evil
God's special and precious garden and
How it had to ache Him to see the first sin
But God knew it was going to be the very first sin sadly
Predicting it as He was and is and always will be God!
