• 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.

  • 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

I was looking through the local newspaper and saw an ad for a church

"5 Reasons to experience the gift of FREE SALVATION find 1. Purpose 2. Promise 3. People 4. Peace 5. Power"

First Salvation is not free it was paid for with a price.

How about 1. Learn about the one and only God 2. Learn how to submit to His will. 3. Praise God 4. Support our Brothers and Sisters in Christ 5. Share what we have learned about God.

This real? Perhaps it would of been better to say the "costly gift of salvation" in stead of "free gift of salvation"

Some people just don't understand. Know you guys have prolly heard this song but it says so much!

Alabaster Box

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The room grew still
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbled through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain
Some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper
There's no place here for her kind
Still on she came
Through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last, she knelt before his feet
And though she spoke no words
Every tear she she shed was heard
As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of Alabaster
[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Chorus:
And I've come to pour
My praise on Him-like oil
From Mary's alabasterbox
Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears
And dry them with my hair
You weren't there-the night He found me
You did not feel what I felt
When He wrapped His loving arms around me
And you don't know the cost
Of the oil in my alabaster box
[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I can't forget
The way life used to be
I was a prisoner
To the sins that had me bound
I spent my days
Poured my life-without measure
Into a little treasure box
I thought I had found
Until the day-when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul
With the wonders of-His love
So now I'm giving back to Him
All the praise He's worthy of
I've been forgiven
And that's why
I love Him so much
[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Repeat Chorus[/font]
