• 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

This also reminds me of when God was encouraging Gideon. God called him a mighty man of valor.

Gideon wasn't convinced and needed God to "encourage him into it".

Precious.

This is soooo true. Reminds me of the verse that says "be still and KNOW that I am God".

What an awesome God. He sent His only begotten Son to save a wretch like me.

He inexplicably loved us wretches. Even as we did not love our own sorry selves or anyone else.

He sent His only begotten Son to die, for us, even as we were lost-er than lost.

Independence Day (1996)?
I've seen...

I'm not sure...i saw it on Youtube. Will Smith was in it.

Do you remember the part where the people gathered on a roof to "greet" the aliens?

It reminds me of how oblivious i was to my own demise, and how blind so many are to where they are surely heading.

I vaguely remember some of the movie, and that scene.

Be thankful for open eyes! And pray for those who are willfully blind to God's word that they may see the light, and hear the call, to His message.

I've actually seen this played out......reminds me how God put His people's enemies to confusion and set them to running when no one had done anything but "show up". God did the rest in a quite dramatic way LOL!
