• 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

Paul said we need to know and understand what it means for the old man to be crucified with Jesus.

Being crucified with Christ and trusting what he did for us on the cross is an everlasting gospel. We are forgiven and covered with the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus was given one time on the cross, and it is enough forever and does not need to be repeated again.

Jesus gave His life one time on the cross and will not come back to earth to be crucified again.

Jesus will come again to deliver us out of this present evil world.

Galatians 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

While we wait for the Lord to return to earth and deliver from this evil world we can be happy every step of the way.

Today wherever your journey leads you be joyful in the Lord.

Below is a list of reason to joy in the Lord every day all day. And they are plenty more reason for happiness that I have not listed.

Therefore, you can leave a comment and add to the list. However, just list one reason for happiness and let someone else add to the list for another reason.

1. We are saved by the grace of God through faith and not by works.
2. We are covered by the blood of Jesus forever.
3. God does not remember our sins.
4. Jesus said I will never leave are forsake you.
6. Jesus said He would never take His peace away from us.
7. God word said He would not charge us or keep account of our sins.
8. We are crucified with Christ.
9. Jesus is coming again.
10. Nothing shall ever separate us from the love of God.
11. We have overcome the world because we believe in Jesus.
12. We are justified by faith.
13. Jesus grace is sufficient for every need.

I could just keep on adding to list, but I will leave some for you add.
Leave a comment for the reason to be happy.

There will still be many occasions when peace is taken away from us. This morning I was reminded of a great evil that continues to sweep over my country and the world. For the rest of the day I had a chill going down my spine.

However, we can still look forward to the day when we will leave this world for the hereafter.

These reasons for happiness are something that I think the Devil's primary work is in trying to conceal in our day to day. I for one appreciate this post, because I myself was needing reminding that things are never as dire as they seem as long as Our God is a Living God---So we're good to go for eternity.
