• 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.

  • 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

I was just reminded of something while reading a thread.

What is worship?
It is my life submitted to God's purpose. (Romans 12:1)

The rocks out worship us. They were created and totally dedicated to the purpose of revealing God's glory.

Let us be worshipers. Let us find the purpose that God created us to acomplish. Let our lives reveal His glory while we seek and then discover that purpose.
Amen
 

Blessed-one

amen, to find out God's will and surrender ourselves to Him entirely. Difficult but a goal worth pursuing. I'm reading "The Christian's secret of a happy life" by Hannah Whitall Smith, in the first few chapters, it states the importance of trust. Like a child who have no care in the world but only trust the people around it, so should we hold this kind of attitude when used in the Lord's hand, aye, the whole life.

I do not speak for qany other but the rocks do not out worship me. I know the purpose for which I was created and I am very very very aware of how I am to treat fellow Christians- My Family, and what we are to do together.

I do not place myself above any, for if I did it would nullify any worship I offered. I do not sit in judgement of any, because if I did, that too would negate any worship I offered.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

This means in obedience to His commands. That means I cannot intentionally disobey His commandments and expect to offer accepted worship in such a state of outright rebellion.

No, I will worship Him in spirit, and in truth, and never in pretense, for I know I cannot fool God.

Thanks for laying this out Elder.
