  • 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

Seek His Face!

1 Chronicles 16:11... Look to the LORD and His strength; seek his face always.

Psalm 27:8... My heart says of you, "Seek his face!"
Your face, LORD , I will seek.


Revelation 22:4-5... They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever


One of the most wonderful things to look forward to in Revelations is the promise "They will see his face". We will be in his presence, speaking with Him face-to-face. There will be nothing clouding our vision.

1 Corinthians 13:12... Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

We can get glimpses of His face now. In Psalm 27:8 we read "Seek his face," and our response is "Your face, Lord, I will seek." This command is also our greatest privilege. There is no higher honor than that we should be invited, to seek the face of God. To seek his presence and fellowship while we wait for the coming of Christ. When we finally do see Him face-to-face fellowship will be deepened and completed because we shall see him as he is.

Seek His face, for what we set our eye upon to follow, day by day, will transform us into that which we behold. So ...

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Helen Lemmel

Turn your eyes upon Jesus;
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.

2 Corinthians 4:6... For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

Thank You Lord for the privilege of seeking the face of Christ. Help us each say deep witin our hearts - "Your face, Lord, I will seek". Let Your light shine in each of our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ.

It is amazing how many hymns are based on certain verses in the Bible. My favorite verse in the OT for His face: "The LORD bless and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace." Numbers 6:25
