• 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.

If you have the desire to be around like-minded believers, I believe you will find others to spend time with for fellowship, the breaking of bread, studying the scriptures, prayer, exhortation, etc. And even if you cannot find such people, you have the Lord with you. The two of you is enough (Matthew 18:20). This verse from Hebrews 10 is not a command to obey but will be a byproduct of your growth in Christ and desire to be around those who share your faith.

How do we obey this scripture? What do we exhort each other to do?

Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Humans were created by God as social creatures. We must share our life of faith and devotion to God with others.

We do this by sharing our lives in the many ways friends and family share their lives.

Yes, it's awesome having a Church community like this.

Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
