• 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.

  • 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.

What a classic christian song this is. How we thank God for Graham Kendrick and songwriters like him. Songs like these are surely born of the Spirit!

'Lord,we have seen the rising sun awakening the early dawn and we're rising up to give you praise. Lord we have seen so we rise up with a song and we rise up with a cry and we're giving You our lives. We will shine like stars in the universe,holding out Your truth in the darkest place. We'll be living for your glory,Jesus we'll be living for Your glory. Lord we have seen. We will burn as the sun,so radiantly sending light for all to see,let your holy light arise..'(Matt Redman)

Amen!

15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; —Philippians 2:15 (KJV)
I'd love to think of us as lights to the world, and not be in shame instead. to be a sparkly light..to be something beautiful and lovely to god ....brings tears to the eyes, to imagine that I could be a light esp when I've been drawn to the darkness and sweet peace of night through goth...

I've felt a failure and a shame, so downcast.....

do you remember the image of the man crawling to the cross, where he then is able to slowly stand upright?

IDK if I can stand upright yet, but my friends, I'm on my knees and at least I can crawl.

'Unapproachable light,so bright it is frightening,holiness shining,just glimpses we see today,but in heaven we'll see Your face,where no heart will deny the beauty of Christ seated on high and all tongues will proclaim Your worth and Your fame for eternity to reign,there will only be one name' (David Gate)

'You're the purest of lights,cant see without dying,there is no hiding.
