• 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.

I think a common fear is the fear of total surrender to Jesus.


Letting go an allowing Him to take the wheel of your life.

The silly thing is that when He is in control the result is order rather than the chaos we fear. He is a God of order. We are safe with Him in control.

Being born again is about His presence coming into your life and making you into what you were created to be.

It is also a doorway to an exciting life that He always wanted us to enjoy.

You have nothing to loose and everything to gain.


Just tell him to come in and take control - say sorry for messing up your beautiful life with your own foolishness. We all did this. You are in good company.

We were designed to run on the spirit of life !!! We have been trying to drive on our own home made fuel and the motor has got clogged up.

Fill up with His Love and enjoy the ride.

There will still be steep hills but with Him it is a totally different and beautiful journey.
