  • 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

Randy Jones a carpenter working on a scaffold 30 feet high lost his footing while carring a sheet of plywood. He fell and landed on a pile of loose dirt.
Breaking three ribs, bruising a lung, and receiving a lot of head and facial cuts.
While being trasported to the ambulance by the paramedics, he kept repeating.
"Please don't drop me."
Randy survived a thirty foot fall only to live in fear of a three foot fall.
When we think of all that God has saved us from, isn't it strange that we still worry so much about the little things?
He saved us from the huge fall of sin, yet like Randy we often keep praying,
"God, don't drop me."
Do we really think that the God who saves us from the big fall isn't able to save us from a three foot fall?
Don't we realize that if Jesus can save us from the fall [of sin] that He is well able to keep us in His hand and not drop us? How often are we consumed with concern and worry? Fear is usually a sign that we are trying to handle things on our own.
How is it that we think a God who could save us from the big drop can't save us from the little ones?

How true this is and God has shown me in the past the scripture

1 John 4:18
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment. he that fearth is not made perfect in love"

If we are walking in perfect love trusting and putting our hope in Him and His promises then we will not fear! :amen: ?
