• 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.

True inner freedom

We can’t love others unless we actually love ourselves in God’s unconditional, infinite love. For we can only be lovingly truthful, and present, when our love is rooted in our relationship with God. Otherwise, while our love for others can be good, there are often underlying conditions for the love to continue. In other words, it is based on need alone, and so, is self-centered. This knowledge that is imparted to us to the degree that we can handle it, is necessary, and also a gift. It is not about leading us into a false sense of guilt, but to understand our situation and how the Lord wishes to lead us into true inner freedom that only God’s love can heal. -Br.MD

Christ is the only mediator between God and man, the only way to salvation. Please don't forget that Christians.

Below is a good sermon i found yesterday about encouraging other Christians to grow in their faith and try not to be idol in your spiritual growth as it will weaken your faith. God bless.

All true growth is watered by grace. Those who seek, are responding to grace, as well as those who pray.

Peace

watered by that endless fountain of water that gushed out of our Lord's side when the Roman soldier pierced his side. The endless fountian of blood poured out to cleanse our sins and the endless living water (hudor) poured out for our blessings. Amen
