  • 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.

Reap steadfast love !

Beloved ones, we all long for steadfast love. Let us long for the steadfast love of the Lord. Let us delight ourselves, that we hear this gracious words.

Sow for yourselves righteousness;
reap steadfast love;

break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the LORD, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you. -Hosea
10:12

Beloved ones, we reap God’s steadfast love because we sow God’s righteousness. So let us not sow our own righteousness but sow God’s righteousness.

For we heard:
For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Beloved ones, let us not be ignorant of God’s righteousness, and let us not seek to establish our own righteousness, but let us submit ourselves to the righteousness of God.

For Christ is the end of law of sin and death for God’s Righteousness, for us who believe.

Beloved ones, let us sow ourselves God’s righteousness and reap abundantly His steadfast love.

To God the Father be thanksgiving through Christ. Amen.

How you should perceive God’s righteousness, that we may sow and reap His steadfast love?

This is what we have heard:
“being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Beloved ones, the fruits of God’s righteousness are by Jesus Christ, that you may sow and reap His steadfast love.

Beloved ones, be filled with God’s righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, and sow His righteousness and reap His steadfast love, to the glory and praise of God.

Beloved ones, be filled with God’s righteousness that comes through faith in Christ Jesus.

Beloved ones, delight yourself in His righteousness. Praise His glorious name, for He is good. For His steadfast love endure forever.

To God the Father be thanksgiving through Christ. Amen.

Beloved ones, sow God’s righteousness and reap His steadfast love. We also heard this promise of grace :

“Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:”
‭‭II Peter‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Beloved ones, daily we sow God’s righteousness in the ground of our hearts, we also have obtained precious faith with bond servants and apostles of Jesus Christ.

That surely bring delights to our hearts, that we have obtained precious faith with faithful ministers of Jesus Christ.

To God the Father be thanksgiving through Christ who gave us this promise, that we may have this precious faith with holy men and women of God. Amen.
