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

We can be sober minded, also Jesus gives us a clear mind. Even at times He gives us a crystal clear mind. We are to have the mind of Christ.

1) Remorse over yesterday's failure.
2) Anxiety over today's problems.
3) Worry over tomorrow's uncertainty.
4) Procrastination with one's present duty.
5) Resentment of another's success.
6) Criticism of a neighbor's imperfections.
7) Impatience with youth's imperfection.
8) Skepticism of our nation's future.
9) Unbelief in God's providence.

Wow, all of those have to do with the Peace of God. A fruit of the Holy Spirit of God in us.

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Philip. 4:7
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
