• 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.

What do you see in this?

Matthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

What do you see in this parable? What is it telling us?

To me it says, find Jesus and when you do give up whatever you have to, sell whatever you have to, do whatever you have to do to have Jesus in your life and never let go. He is worth everything. It also says when you find Jesus you find true joy and happiness; you have found everything.

I think we are to seek Christ with a great passion, we are to grab a hold of Him and hold on, no matter what. We are to be joyful -- knowing we possess a priceless treasure.

We can know about the treasure, we can know where the treasure is too. We can jump up and down with excitement about it, we can talk about it and we could take the label of treasure hunter but to get this treasure we have to sell all to get it.
