  • 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

Why do we dread that which we need
Do sheep really know the best place to feed

Branches bear fruit when connected to the vine
How often our wedding feasts run out of wine

We distance ourselves from the woman at the well
Our ears are tuned to the sound of chapel bell

Storms at sea bring about great terror
Why doesn't God understand His error

So much we can do when the sun is shining
Rainy days are reserved for whining and dining



Into every life some rain must fall
Into every life there comes a call

Raindrops cause hidden seeds to grow
Teardrops are used to cleanse the soul

Breaking the surface bathing in light
Watching them grow is a wondrous sight

Drinking in adversity they begin to bloom
Their radiant colors wash away gloom

Wildflowers grow because of rain and sun
Christians grow when self is undone


.....peace.....
