• 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.

Def: an area of canvas or other fabric extended to the wind in such a way as to transmit the force of the wind, , so as to drive it along. - Dictionary.com

If you will, the ‘Old Man’ of the sea knows the chartered course, tempest conditions, trials and His commands over everything involved,

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

"God does the breakthrough, but He’s waiting for us to take that first step of faith. We have to believe in God’s goodness, that God has already willed the breakthrough for our life. Then we actually become "agents of breakthrough," unleashing God’s supernatural power to change our impossible situations in our homes, workplaces and relationships." - Chip Ingram

Very true

This also brings to mind countries where believers are. There might be storms and disasters, but when praying believers are in that country, no storm or disaster, no matter how bad it is, can "sink" it.
