• 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.

The daily thread.

No i havent. Is it good?

Yes, it's excellent. It's based on a true story and centers around the writer of the song, and his father, who was as he described him, "a monster".

Dennis Quaid played the part of the father, and he lived and breeeeathed that part.

Both the main character and Dennis Quaid were excellent in the movie.

The heart of the story is "redemption", and how God can raise beauty from ashes, in what might seem the most unlikeliest lives, including generational "curses", so to speak.

....isn't it precious that God sees what we may not see, and that is that "beauty" that He can raise from what looks like to us, absolute "ruins"/"ashes".

Brings this to mind:

The Lord is our beauty. Praise the Lord.

...there are some, who may be convinced that they are eons beyond God's grace and mercy. I pray that God challenges that as only He can.

Remember in the book of Ezekiel, i think, where God tells Ezekiel(?) to make the dried bones "live"?

Do they play that song by Mercyme in it, "Even if"?

Read this today

Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

The phrase 'In Your presence ' is fullness of joy; stands out to me.
