• 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.

The goodness of the Lord

This is what we have heard:

“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed

That I would see the goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living.

Wait on the Lord;

Be of good courage,

And He shall strengthen your heart;

Wait, I say, on the Lord!”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


How we would not lose heart, that we see the goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living?


We who HAD BELIEVED would not lose heart, that we see the goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living.


What HAD we BELIEVED?


We heard we wait on the Lord, that we say wait on the Lord.


So we who HAD BELIEVED, that we heard, wait on the Lord, that we say that we wait on the Lord, that we serve the Lord, that we encourage ourselves through Christ, that is,

we speak over ourselves and others the promises of God, for His word of grace shall make us be of a good courage and shall strengthen our hearts.


So I see the goodness of the Lord

In the land of the living because I HAD BELIEVED, that I wait on the Lord, that I serve the Lord, that I speak the promises of God to myself and others, for the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living is in His promises.


So I be of good courage,for the Lord encourages me through His promises and shall strengthen my heart, that I say I wait on the Lord,

that I serve the Lord, that I speak His word of grace, that His grace may strengthen your heart, that you also believe, that you serve the Lord, that you would also see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.


To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen
