• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Now we move on to the 12th book of the New Testament, Colossians.

Colossians 1:

:heart: How GLORIOUS and INEXPLICABLE is THIS??!!

Darkness has no authority over us!!

Praise God!!!!

Let's meditate for just a moment on what that means.....

It ties into what Jesus said on the cross:

"It is finished."

Doesn't it?

Much more than we can fathom in our finite minds was done on the cross, wasn't it?

Colossians 2:

:heart: Here we have a description of the walloping death-blow Jesus gave to the powers and authorities of darkness and He even made a pathetic spectacle of them from the cross...

No WONDER Jesus said "It is finished."

It WAS!!!!

Praise God!!!!!

Now we move on to the 13th book of the New Testament, I Thessalonians.

I Thessalonians 1:

:heart: This is precious. God never, ever forgets ANYTHING we do or have ever done for Him, when done with our whole hearts because we love Him, even when we stumble or "fall" later and are inundated with confusion or have lost our way. THIS is why we are to pray for one another, ALWAYS, especially for the discouraged, weary, and to-the-bone not able to even lift a prayer to our God, and theirs. WE pray for those who cannot pray for themselves yet one more time.

We stand-in for them.

Amen?

Now we move on to the 14th book of the New Testament, II Thessalonians.

II Thessalonians 1:

:heart: God's promise that He does NOT forget the sufferings and hardships and injustices that are done against His people.

Amen.
