  • 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

Another blessed dawn I face,
One more day of love and grace;
I need your wisdom God to live,
A filling of fresh love to give.

To you alone my fount and spring
This dry and thirsty soul I bring
For the quenching you provide,
O living reservoir inside.

Sparkling clear, pure and clean,
The Source is real and yet unseen,
I've no excuse now to remain
On dry and dusty, barren plain.

Amid the heat of life on earth
There's joy, thankfulness and mirth
For I've a cooling fountain near,
An everpresent listening ear.

Weary and faint? Oh, don't give up!
You still have faith to dip your cup
In living water, deep and pure
Your everlasting source and cure.

John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14) But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Beautiful poem everhope! Psalms 42 and 84 concur!

As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
3 My tears have been my food
day and night,
while men say to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"
4 These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go with the multitude,
leading the procession to the house of God,
with shouts of joy and thanksgiving
among the festive throng.

5 Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and 6 my God.

My [3] soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon-from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.

8 By day the LORD directs His love,
at night His song is with me-
a prayer to the God of my life...


Psalm 84

1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
O LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD ;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God...

Thank you so, HumbleBee for your comments and just good fellowship. Hey, I did go and read the first part of your two parter. Very interesting. Don't you love when the Lord shows you something in the word in such a way that its really sticky!

Nope. You can never exhaust the wisdom and/or application of God's Word. When you hunger....he feeds.

When I have time I will go back and read the other part. I'm intrigued about the "heart pillow" thing and how you will conclude.

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad to have "met" you.

God bless,

everhope
