• 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

Scripture compares us to offspring of the sorcerer and prostitute. We sinners are no different than Israel was. We sinners are spiritual infant's, adulterers, wolves, witches, murderers, and drunkards. And we fell asleep. We need to wake up now.
I’m listening. When you say wake up, what do you envision?

I can't say how my friend. Its God's work. We preach the word. I can't even judge myself.

But being awake it to understand the blindness around us. Its a serious matter. Fear God and tremble. Be alert and sober minded and not conformed to the thinking and wisdom of this blind world.

Sober minded is not having political and religious division and contention, and it would be not having wealth, luxury and lusts

It would be lowly minded, meek in wisdom, peaceful, gentle, humble, contrite, broken, merciful, compassionate, forgiving, helpful, caring, giving, generous, hospitable, and harmless. In my understanding of scripture.

These are the words of a humble servant of Jesus Christ.
