• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I mean really people!!! We are so silly today because we say things like "oh, I love that movie", or "I love pizza", even "I Love you"....

We don't know what love really is anymore and I think that is why we have problems in society.... We seem to enjoy Hollywood and there perversion of what love is and yet God already told us what Love really is....

Lord help us

The meaning of the word may disappear but the feeling does not, that is what's important.
In agape love you can lose the feeling but still have love because it is through God. It is not the earthly kind of love but a love that surpasses understanding. It comes through Him.

You gotta give pathway waves a chance and become one with it to find new beauties of love in life to awaken in yourself is what I think.

We (especially in the west) have general meaning for words that some have multiple...

Storge Love
Storge is a Greek word (στοργή) for family love and frequently used for natural affection.

Eros Love
This is the erotic love between men and women which is a sensual love. It is acceptable within the confines of marriage.

Philia Love
This is the love that Christians are commanded to have for one another (Rom 12; 1 Cor 13). Jesus told the disciples and He tells us today, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Agape Love
This type of love is supernatural as Jesus displayed on the cross saying "forgive them for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34). This love is not as much a noun (a thing) or what is felt but it is displayed by what someone does. Love is a verb. it is an action. it is what you do like Jesus dying for us while we were still sinners as summed up in Romans 5:7-8 "For one will scarcely die for a righteous person-though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die-but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
