• 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.

Please take a moment to read this.

Perhaps, for the time being, we could lay aside our differences to come join together and unite in prayer for the people of Japan.

There is a prayer thread set up already in the Announcement forum.

Here is the link: prayers going up here for Japan's natural disaster-earth quake and tsunami

There is also an urgent request posted in the Prayer Request forum.

One member says her family is in Japan, in the area that was hit, and she doesn't know if her relatives are alive or dead.

Here is the link: Tsunami hit Japan! I don't know yet if my relatives are alive...

Whatever our differences in doctrine or personal beliefs are, we are still the Body of Christ, united in Him. Let us come together and pray, in His name, for those in Japan who have been effected by this tragedy. We need to stand and unite together in prayer to God, in one accord. Please pray. :prayer:

Ikos 9

The wordy orators, become as dumb fish, are at a loss as to how to praise as is due, the great feast of Thine all-precious protection: for all the things said by them about Thee suffice not to number Thy mercies alone. And we, seeing Thy good works without number, cry with gladness: Hail! Thou who dost guard us from the deadly plague in which all perish.
Hail! Thou who dost preserve cities and villages from sudden earthquakes.
Hail! Thou who dost lead us out with Thy strong arm from flood and drowning.
Hail! Thou who by the dew of Thy prayers dost deliver us from the kindling of fire.
Hail! Thou who dost provide against hunger of soul and body by the Bread of life.
Hail! Thou who dost lead away from our heads the blows of lightning and thunder.
Hail! Thou who dost save us from the attacks of strangers and secret murderers.
Hail! Thou who dost guard us with peace and love against family quarrels and the enmities of those of our own blood.
Hail! our Joy, protect us from every ill by Thy precious veil.
