• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Us Vs. World

The shock value has been getting much older
When innocence has become daily more slackened
Though we complicate our lives to be bolder
The outlook for life has all but blackened

Why are we moving outward from religion
When the questions inward are always directed
When we leave our truth, compromise decision
And become as puppets, unmoral as expected

We think less and less about choices made
We let the media decide how we should act
As it takes liberty on how faith is displayed
And denies much of the truth and its impact

The world can quote scripture and so can Satan
Abusing the words and misusing its reference
But do we care as our days pass and laten?
When we do not read for ourselves as preference

Do we care to do the research or to defend it?
Or interpret verses in context or its background?
Or is our motivation lacking and time to spend it
When even ourselves become ignorant of the profound

Faith and trust in God and his Word may fold in
But, with it, even the weakest of men may embolden
As the values of this world will one day leave men
Cling not to the world as we will not stay its denizen
