• 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.

Laughs and hugs with cygnusx1.....

60 million? How appalling! That's too many, cyg *as js pictures every hill and valley crammed with folk battling for their square foot of space*

Just kidding.....it's a huge population for the size of the country, though.

Er.....ok.....health and education and the billions and billions wasted on them won't be mentioned by me, cyg.

*as js gets the fire extinguisher ready*

I don't get your last point re reservoirs, cyg......

SING TO THE LORD
How foolish still are worldly wise
In shame they dance the devil’s lies
Partake his wine his evil bread
And sing his songs while walking dead​


To glorify God’s name in praise
The truth is taught since ancient days
God gave to man His song to sing
To soar above on eagle’s wing​


Lift joyous hearts and sing in love
Let praise arise upon the Dove
Heaven and earth will take delight
When God receives our song in flight​


Angels on high may never sing
Songs of Zion to God The King
But those redeemed in Christ rejoice
Lift high your heads and raise your voice​


Look neither left nor to the right
Sing songs of love with all your might
Sing as you walk your Groom to greet
Sing to God at Jesus’ feet​


Sing out long or just a while
Each song we sing brings God a smile
His blessings surely fill the earth
So sing in Christ for all you’re worth​


Let every child of God by choice
Lift high your heads and raise your voice
Alone in truth let voices ring
For only this will please ourKing​


So heed each song you choose to rise
Be faithful true and always wise
With heart and soul give praise today
God’s singer of songs won’t see decay. ​

Sorry, cyg.....I guess this cold is still affecting me a bit. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Actually, I did find it difficult to think really clearly last night as I felt so ghastly.

Australia's suffering badly in places right now, isn't it, with low water levels and stuff. Sometimes I think that here in NZ we can get a bit complacent about things like climate changes and low water levels and stuff. Parts of NZ, notably Otago, do suffer from drought-like conditions a bit, but we never seem to have the ongoing battle that some places have.

THANK YOU FATHER​



I felt so lost, in deep distress
My life was just a total mess
Left all alone in need of love
I sought for guidance God above​



The day we met, was sheer delight
I thank my God who gave me sight
You gave to me what none can buy
I know in Christ I’ll never die​



When first I heard my Master’s voice
You made my heart and soul rejoice
You spoke of things I’d never heard
Revealing me your precious word​



You took the doubt you cleansed my heart
Right then I knew we’d never part
From there my life is not the same
I bless the day my God you came​



To please you Lord I’ve truly tried
Though when I’ve failed how much I cried
The devil tries with great deceit
But peace I’ve found at Jesus’ feet​



You know the name of every child
You saw me while still running wild
You set me free, You made me whole
You brought the joy that floods my soul​



Throughout my life I’ve felt Your hand
Yet only now! I understand
The gift of faith You gave to me
Has torn the veil and made me see​



How can I pay for all You’ve done?
Your Holy Ghost, Your faithful Son
I aim to serve with all my might
I thank my God I’ve seen the Light.

ESTHER’S CHOICE​


It’s good to heed when Jesus calls
Our lamps with oil well lit
But what’s attained behind church walls
If all we do is sit​


If warm and snug we seek to be
To live without a care
We’ve failed my friend; we’ve failed to see
The fate of all out there​


Salvation’s grace, is just the start
God’s seed, we need to sow
If Christ is truly in the heart
The world has need to know​


She needs to grow as mustard seed
To spread just like the vine
So others too on Christ can feed
Can drink His blood like wine​


Like Esther had to make her choice
She had king Xerxes ear
Would she now dare to raise her voice
Or live a life of fear​


Three days she prayed with nought to eat
In sack instead of lace
Then walked in faith, her fate to meet
Before her sovereigns face​


But God stood on queen Esther’s side
Her king such joy she brought
When on the gallows Haman died
His own trap was he caught​


We too must follow Esther’s lead
Give God our lives on earth
To plant in us His Holy Seed
That grows to second birth…​


M......J....​
