• 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

Hearing's other people's testimonies, I am always surprised on how much people go through and how they carry themselves now because they know Jesus loves them and provides for them.

To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.
Winston S. Churchill

I found this quote after listening to a video of John Paul Jackson and he said something very similar. It struck a cord with me and I reflect back on it a lot. I find it fascinating to think about how we all were blessed with specific traits..strengths and weaknesses...put on this earth at a specific time...to accomplish a task that has been given to us. Whether it be to gather a huge crowd and help get thousands converted one night or that on july 17th 2024 at 2:31pm you plant a seed in someones heart that will eventually get them saved... we all have a very specific purpose that only we can perform at the highest level... what inspires me is the realization that that 'finest hour' can be missed, and what a tragedy that would be.

I think of Isaiah 55.11: "My word ... shall not return unto me void..."

Folks that are having difficult times, yet they still maintain a lovely, upbeat attitude.
Isn't that awesome? Witnessed that just a couple days ago as a matter-of-fact, definitely inspiring you're right.
