• 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.

Sun rays on a cloudy day
Bright stars on a dark night
Fresh water in a fierce storm
Cool breeze when the sun’s warm

Birds singing as the waves crash
Clouds part as the fog blocks
Moon shining through a cool mist
Seems that but is it this?

How see when you look at that?
Bright stars or a dark night?
Fresh water or a fierce storm?
Cool breeze or the sun’s warm?

Circumstances can be that
While attitudes are this
What we make of life on earth
Will give us death or birth

Not saying to ignore bad
Choose to see only good
Saying that when we see grave
See good, for that will save

For Jesus said he’ll bring good
Out of what will seem bad
So we must will to see good
Not let bad destroy mood
