  • 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

yes i learned hurt. but then i learned love. a scar is just a reminder.

A FOUNTAIN OF PEACE...
satan told me, "dark is your home",
and at one time i listened.
God's word whispered in my ear...
"live in Me... I'll set you free!"
this time i believed.
satan called me, "you sinner!"
God's word gently said,
“you've been set free”
this time i remembered…
i know who is the father of lies!
“you sinned again, and now you're mine!”
satan danced around my head.
God's word cut him sharp like a sword…
i know i'm not his prisoner any more.
looking past the pit of dispare,
replaced by peace, it's no longer there.
God stayed by me and whispered in my heart,
and when i began to listen…
His wisdom i began to impart.
satan can no longer talk to me,
for i no longer listen.
i know i'm not his prisoner any more.
looking past the pit of dispare,
it's no longer there…
it's transformed by God's love…
into a fountain of peace.
only the peace found in His care.

Rdee, it flows nicely, and contains some unique phrases--so common to mankind, but deceptions we don't talk about much!

It reminds me of Hosea 2:23,
"I will show my love to the one I called 'not my loved one.' I will say to those called 'Not my people, 'You are my people' and they will say, 'You are my God.'"
