• 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.

This is DEEP.

It fits today, right now, in our culture here, doesn't it?

Yes its deep. I noticed it after you posted the verse from that psalm. I read the whole psalm and it jumped out at me. It seems to fit these days we live in, yes.

Yes, especially where it says:

"Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law"

there are laws in place that are point-blank wicked, and yes, it comes from the "throne of iniquity", the god of this world through whoever he uses to put such laws in place...

reminds me of was it Jeremiah they called the "weeping prophet" because he was sooooo grieved over the blatant iniquities of the people?

That scripture reminds me of how pharisees twisted Gods law to commit iniquity.

Yes! And Jesus was direct and point-blank with them......

in our culture now, we have a twisting going on that is most abominable, for "good" is called "evil" and "evil", "good"

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" ~Isaiah 5:20

1 John 5:18 The man who has been born of God, we may be sure, keeps clear of sin; that divine origin protects him, and the evil one cannot touch him. 19 And we can be sure that we are God’s children, though the whole world about us lies in the power of evil. 20 We can be sure, too, that the Son of God has come to us, and has given us a sense of truth; we were to recognize the true God, and to live in his true Son. He is true God, and eternal life. 21 Beware, little children, of false gods.

There's a lot of criticism against Hillsong, but this song is precious, and ministers to many, and blesses our heavenly Father's heart.

Precious.

i don't know either, but if a song falls in line with lifting up God and singing with all one's heart before Him, in that moment, i'm joining in and asking God, through His Holy Spirit to mooooove as only He can in hearts and minds and souls, and that His inexplicable grace supersedes ALL things, for His glory

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
