  • 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

Isaiah 41:10 Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Jeremiah 32:17 Sovereign LORD , you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.

Love and prayer are two of the most powerful things we possess. They are not designed to destroy, but to break through the darkness, creating a path for the light and love of Jesus Christ. As we face many situations each day, we have a tendency to disregard the power and ability of love and prayer. We get discouraged when we pray, only to see the situation unchanged or even worsen, and when we love, only to have it trampled on and thrown back at us. Yet something mighty is happening, though it may be unseen. When a bomb is dropped, the results are immediate. Our prayers bomb the spiritual realm, and while we don’t always see the repercussions of them, it does not lessen their effectiveness. We can’t allow ourselves to believe for one second, the love we extend and the prayers that go forth, are not making a huge difference in our personal situations and in the world. Each prayer makes a path of light for Christ to enter in, and each act of love touches a heart.

Remember -- God's hand IS there upholding you -- even if you can't see it right now!

God fulfill Your purpose within our lives, and strengthen our faith; that we may grow with confidence in You. Let each of us feel in a very real way Your mighty hand upholding us. As we continue to love unconditionally and pray without ceasing; things are changing; Jesus Christ is coming into our lives; making a way; hearts are being touched. Lord Jesus, please make Your ways clear to us. Help us each cast all cares on You and be lifted up in Your due time. Lord we look to You and seek Your face, Your strength, and Your love. In Jesus mighty and powerful name we pray and believe that we will reap the results of the love and prayers we have planted, Amen
