  • 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

Luke 1:36 “Your Cousin Elisabeth has conceived in her old age: with her who was called BARREN, for with God nothing shall be impossible”

How many people have deemed us “Barren” oh he or she wont get anyone now, its too late for them. They are the unclaimed treasures in the church. They have had there chance now its too late.

People can be very unkind cant they?

But listen this verse really encouraged me, because we are in the eyes of some “Barren” in other words NO hope for them!

But look when there is no hope in our eyes, and people say “there hopes gone” well its not!

Zachariah had prayed many years for a child and the angel said “Your prayer has been heard” Yes!! It was a delayed prayer, and when all hope seemed to be gone, God stepped in and not only this in v58, Others “REJOICED” with her (and him).

God is so kind, people may write us off (we older ones) but God doesn’t and His plans are spot on. Its just when your are down and weeping that the hope tends to fade.

So be encouraged God is with you.

Thanks for the wonderful encouragement, been feeling just that way of late. Was married for 17 yrs, been divorced almost as long and not even dated in the interim. My kids came first, now they are grown and I feel like it's too late. Thanks again, God bless!:wave:
