• 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.

Consider this. God is not limited by time or space, yet he tells us in His word that there is "A time and a purpose for everything under heaven" (Eccl Chapter 3). Man's time on earth is limited. For example, in Psalm 90 v 10 the word says, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away."

70 years equals 25, 550 days (365X70)

Jesus walked this earth 12,045 days (33 years)

I have a friend that is 37,960 days old (she is 104)

Enoch walked with God 133,225 days (He was 365 years old when God took him)

Methuselah lived 353, 685 days (He was 969 years old when he died)

As I thought on time, I wrote this little Poem:

The Clock Is Ticking



The silence of the house was interrupted by a sound
The clock loudly ticked as the second hand moved around
Time was slipping away, minute by minute, day by day
I could do nothing to keep time at bay

Where did those 18,980 days of my 52 years go
I started searching high and low
After many days seeking, I concluded at last
Those days, weeks, months and years were in my past

How many more days do I have to live
It is in God's hands, my breath He does give
The past is behind me, tomorrow I may not see
My future is in Jesus' hands, He holds the key

In heaven there will be no sound of the clock
Jesus holds the key, this door He'll unlock
Trust in Him who holds time in His hand
The hourglass of old will have no sand

My future is certain, this I believe
He offered me a gift, and I did receive
Eternal salvation that didn't cost a dime
Now I no longer worry about the passage of time.

:wave: :hug:
i love it when people put thoughts to poetic presentations.
i'd print this out and fame it. a daily reminder that each day on it's own is a blessing. it's encouraging to spend the day glorifying God/ dedicating it to him. you made me thoughtful :) . nice feeling.
