• 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

Fear or Uncertainty

Abandoning all things that distract your exit
Losing all apprehension in making your transit
Dropping all second thoughts of that old nature
Readying yourself to pursue that which matures

Awaiting the stares and glances of disbelievers
Nodding in hopes to remember the over-achievers
But do they know that you found the real medium
Do they know that the truth is really for them?

Do you wonder if they are ready to be fully shaken?
Are they receptive enough to really take it in?
Will uncertainty be their guide to discovering?
Or will your presenting the gospel be more troubling?

Will the wearied, the uncertain, and fearful see
That spiritual chains have held us away from liberty
That the exercise of real christianity is denied
Because of mistakes of other claimers were misguided

Will they read for themselves and take objectiveness
Or, recur to presuppositions and selectiveness
Will your words and actions be meaningfully seen
Will they mock your sincerity or know to listen

Will the conviction arise in their souls and lead
Will the little mentions of faith later succeed
Will the everlasting and relevant wisdom become a seed
Will the hardened heart make its growth not proceed?

Did they know that the words were spoken not for grant?
Did they really know that you spoke of a love triumphant?
Did they really get the details of how much He cared?
Words voiced because of your concerns for their welfare

How your heart yearns afterwards of their acceptance
A longing wonderment for their spiritual deliverance
A crying out for spiritual fellowship even to eternity
For them to have peace for sure but not a life of futility
