• 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.

There's a fire....that cannot be contained.

There's a love....that should not be hid away.

There's a light....that needs to be carried humbly to the darkness.

There's Jesus, and He desires us to be His hands, His feet, and to minister to the least of these. When we do this, we have done this unto Him, our Master!

The Lord's call to ministry was irresistible. I suppose you could say that the desire to obey (although I confess it was reluctant obedience for awhile) is what attracted me most to ministry.

It's not just a career, it's a vocation, a calling. When I accepted the call to ministry I accepted that my life's direction would be determined by the service I could offer the Lord and his people. Whatever form my ministry takes in years to come, obedience to God's call will always be the driving force in my life.
