• 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.

  • 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.

When Teardrops Fall

When the teardrops fall, I do call on my Lord.
He is my support as I walk through the storm.
In the womb of my mother, my life He did form,
All that was for me He had planned ‘fore I was born.

God never promised us a life without tears,
A life without misery, a life without fears.
Our Lord Jesus told us what it meant to follow Him,
It means we’ll be hated and be treated just like Him.

Yes, suffering is hard, not meant to be easy,
For life on this earth is not meant to be breezy.
We learn through what we suffer to grow in Christian faith.
We learn how to love and how our sins we’re to abate.

Crying, it’s okay, it releases all the tension,
Then we give all to God, for He now has our attention.
Then faith, walk we in it, despite our circumstances,
For God, He is with us, this is not happenstances.
