  • 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

Put Up Your Shield!

Ephesians 6: 16... Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all fiery darts of the wicked one.

Notice the highlighted words! Above all take the shield of faith. Also notice this shield of faith - it quenches All fiery darts, not just some! It is important for us to realize that no matter what kind of fiery darts the enemy may shoot at us, that ultimately, in light of eternity, they cannot hurt us!




Take the shield of faith, above all.
Hold it boldly in the light.
It will quench All the fiery darts
and put every foe to flight.


More on shields...

Psalm 84:11... For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Psalm 119:114... You are my hiding place and my shield: I hope in Your Word.

Psalm 3:3... But You are a shield around me, O LORD ; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.


Lord please remind each of us to take our shield of faith - above all. Remind each that with this shield of faith All fiery darts of the enemy are quenched. Thank You Lord that You are our shield and the lifter of our heads. Please continue to lift our heads toward You. Let each of us feel Your protection around us in a very real way. In the name of Jesus Christ.
