  • 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

Special day for me. Was baptized on Thanksgiving Day in 1988. The theme of my testimony was, of course, thankfulness! The final line, "Mostly I'm thankful that for all the years I searched for truth, the Truth found me."

Many trials and tribulations in the decades since - joy over triumphs and occasional grief now over failures - when dwelt upon.

What I'm thankful for today, in my old age? That God has brought me to the place where every single day I can give Him thanks - even on the worst days.

Just for the privilege of knowing Him intimately, through His Son Jesus Christ. And especially for the joy of being encouraged by the stories of brothers and sisters in Christ who live in the same thankfulness.

What a celebration it's going to be at the great Wedding Feast of the Lamb one day!

Everyone's invited! The Bridegroom is knocking at all our doors. Just open and invite Him in, friends.

Just as you are!

God bless.


Thank you, Jesus!

Beautiful. Love Bob Bennett! Special personal favorites... "Man Of The Tombs" and "Lord Of The Past." Blessed to see him and Michael Card perform together.
That's funny bro, I couldn't decide between those two, so I went with this one.
