• 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.

Indeed, there are major differences. Without them there would be no debate.



We aren't born with a desire to please God. Many children don't even know there is a God. This is why the gospel is preached:






Paul is speaking to believers who are capable of giving in to temptation. But sin can be overcome with God's help. He's reminding us that God has more power than we do and God can deliver us from evil --- just as Jesus said in the Lord's Prayer. Without the Spirit of Christ, we don't belong to Him and don't understand the truth. Truth is spiritually discerned.

Romans 6:14
For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Matthew 6:13
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Help is available because:



All praise and glory belong to God!




Magic is nonsense. God's power is real.
