• 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.

Such beautiful words.

[FONT=&quot]Matthew 11.28 "...I am gentle and humble in heart..." [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I am not sure I have read such beautiful words in a very long time. I read this today and part of me smiled and I was deeply moved in seeing what I have been believing in for so long gracefully spoken into words. I believe all too often people aren't gentle or aren't humble. I honestly believe some lowliness is a good thing, an awareness of your weaknesses, down falls, failures, your own incompetence, your potential for mistake. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It leads to graceful people that produce a love that can only be described as beautiful because love is all they have to give. I believe this sort of beautiful person breaks the barriers of religion or culture and has the love that covers all people of all beliefs. I believe this produces a kindness in people that no one can reject. Truth can be told gently and with humility that is hardly resistible. [/FONT]

Love is the greatest of all. Love fulfills the law of the profits. Love is gentle i think but also tough when needed, im not sure. To be gentle is something i strive for yet fail to do sometimes. Gentle and humble in heart... these words warm my heart also, thanks friend
