  • 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.

I grew up loving all God's creations but on those hot Texas farms , I really learned to love trees. You only have to stand under one when it is 100 degrees to see God's grand design.

When I saw this story it made me sad. God knows my heart for an insect much less these special trees.

There are so many signs all around us of what is called end days and this is no different. When I get upset about the state of earth from people to these trees , God reminds me earth has an expiration date.



Just to see a term like “trees of life dying , “ screams Scriptures. God is showing us Mercy and Grace in many things and ways , know and understand how He speaks to us. We have spent so long listening to humans , we do not know how to listen to Him...Spend some time this week not listening to humans and listen to God and what He has always spoke through...Job 32-42...

Genesis 2:9
And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Africa’s massive "trees of life" have been dying off and researchers aren’t sure what is happening to the iconic greenery.

A recent study suggests climate change has been playing a role in the deaths of the continent's native baobab trees. The towering trees are the largest flowering trees and the longest living, reaching nearly 2,000 years of age.

I have noticed a general deterioration of nature around (in Australia) even gum trees that are very hardy are looking quite sick, many are dying off and things just don't seem "right".
I really think creation is groaning (Romans 8:22) and I have heard others observing the same.
His coming is closer...
