• 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.

GREAT verse...you find the best verses...have you read the entire Bible through?

Yes, but mere reading through mechanically doesn't itself absorb the Scriptures into the heart. It's good and essential to read, mind.

What I like about Malachi is that the idea of the Lord sustain His faithful remnant is applicable to us also, even though in the prophecy it's not the church in view.

Blessings.

Yes, it's a highly relevant book of the Bible: the Lord protects His faithful, pilgrim minority.

'I the LORD search the heart' (Jeremiah 17.10).
:)

Did you know a similar verse is used in Reve 2:23?

Jeremiah 17:10
I Yahweh, searching heart, examining the affections
and giving to man ways of him, as fruit of his doings. [Reve 2:23]

Reve 2:23
And the offspring of her I shall be killing in death, and shall be knowing all the Out-Calleds that I am the One searching kidneys/reigns and hearts
and I shall be giving to Ye each according to the works of Ye.
[Jeremiah 17:10]

The Church in Thyatira

The church in Thyatira has a longer message delivered to it from Jesus Christ than any of the seven churches.......
Thyatira means "sweet perfume of sacrifice" and when you study this word it speaks of a perfume that sends forth its fragrance as the result of bruising, crushing, or breaking...................

"And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him." ~Malachi 3:17

The GRACE of God just shines right through this verse...

what a GLORIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL verse this is:

"Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name." ~Malachi 3:16

what stands out for me as a "key" in this beautiful verse and PROMISE, is that it's referring to those who "fear the Lord"...that God puts THIS of UTMOST importance and it is very very DEAR to His heart and it BLESSES Him. How delightful is that?

This is a good verse which describes remnant testimony today also! :) albeit in a different dispensation.

Blessings.

"And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The Lord will be magnified from the border of Israel." ~Malachi 1:5

Thanks; I guess this is why I didn't recognize it at first.

Blessings.
