• 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

“Let heaven fill your thoughts;
don’t spend your time worrying about things down here.”

Phil 4:6-8 ESV
"6
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
Pasted from: Philippians 4 ESV

Those are some of my favorite verses. I take real comfort in verses 6-7; and great counsel as to what thoughts should be occupying my mind.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 King James Version (KJV)
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

So, anything that is comforting, encouraging, and uplifting has it´s origin of God. He is the God of all comfort.

Thank you! It seems that you saw the response I sent back
to "Monksailor" and then you responded with two great verses which are appropriate to the subject matter being addressed.

I had to post it because it´s one of my favorite verses when I feel like everything is falling apart :D and also it is my compass in life, if it´s not uplifting or comforting or encouraging it is not for me or for my life. Thank you all for sharing lovely verses we all need them espesially now when there is too much hatred and fear.Bless you all.
