• 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

peace, love & understanding

K, in my attempts to promote some peace within this forum - becuz I love my fellow CC Members,
I'd like to set up a thread that doesn't contain strife and just wants to promote some peace & healing.

This thread can be used for any type of fellowship, positive comments... just nice positive.... STUFF.
whatever it is.:angel:

I'll start this off with a verse that I love and don't follow near enough:

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute,
if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise,
dwell on these things
:holy:

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Thanks Nadiine :) :thumbsup: :hug:

aren't emoticons fun!

I really like this one, but I never get to use it
:liturgy:

perhaps it is my odd sense of humor but I think it is hilarious to have a long really serious post and right in the middle of it just insert a random balarina :tutu:

Awe, that was sweet -- I tend to show alot of my harder side in this ministry becuz my main reason for being in forums isn't fellowship becuz i'm busy "working" elsewhere lol....

but it's nice to just lighten up & RELAX in the joy of the Lord. Ahhh, who alone is like You Lord?

Maybe if we can mend up within our group, the strife stuff will just melt away (or go back to where it came from... wherever that may be).
Heck, i'm willing to try ANYTHING at this point!! heh :tutu: :help: :help:

I'm a smiley FANATIC LOL - the more the better. I love anything that breaks up a post's words becuz it's very hard on my eyes to read straight text in long rows (esp. if small)... LIKE YOURS SIMON! rofllllll sorry :blush:

That's why post style is full of caps, colors, smileys, size changes... it helps me read it easier.
plus emphasis seems important to me LOL

Like THIS!
^_^ :p

Leave it there, leave it there.

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

If you trust and never doubt,

He will surely lead you out.

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

:tutu:
How ironic, Greg Lauries radio sermon today is about grieving God with our anger and doing stupid things.

Glad I don't do that!!
*innocent look* :holy: :holy: :sorry:
