• 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

Thanks dayhiker!

And Forge I like that about letting in more light! :thumbsup:

I wonder how many times we have been used by God unbeknownst to ourselves?

Just as equally there are probably many times when we offend someone and we don't even know it. I know it's happened to me and the reason I know it now is because later on down the road some of them have told me.

The value of a vessel isn't in itself but rather what is on the inside. Otherwise, it is just purely ornamental and basically useless.

You can make a bedpan out of gold and cover it with jewels, but it is still just a bedpan full of ....

A simple plain jar may not have any value to itself but fill it with a precious oil and it becomes an vessel of great value.
