• 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.

Write something inspirational and of light.

"Fight The Good Fight of Faith"

Believe that you will win. No matter how weak you are; no matter how great your foe; no matter what may confront you, go into the conflict with that courage that is born of faith.

Believe that God will give you the victory. Do no consider defeat at all.

Let your faith mount up, and say: "I can win, and I will win. In God I will conquer."

Throw away your doubts. Make an end of them. Trust in God. His word is true. His promises are true. You can believe it if you will, and believing it, you shall be more than conquerors through him that loves you.
Amen

A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble. ~Charles H. Spurgeon

During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. "Absolutely," the professor said. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy. ~Joann C. Jones

1 John 3 ~

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Look Unto Jesus
:bow:
Oh, look away to Jesus, when sorrow presses sore,
And what tempations gather thick,
Keep looking all the more.
"Tis looking unto Jesus turns darkness into light,
Looking unto Jesus makes it right, all so very right.

Over the rainbow is the cross,
telling us just how much God loves us
and the full extent to which He was
willing to go to make us His own.

When we look at the cross, we know
that at the center of the universe
there is giving, forgiving, unchanging,
unlimited love which will never let us go.
Not ever!

* * * * * * *
O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.

God is ever seeking to get down to us - to be the divine man in us. And we are ever saying, "That be far from Thee, Lord!" We are careful, in our unbelief, over the divine dignity, of which He is too grand to think. Better pleasing to God...is the audacity of Job, who, rushing into His presence, and flinging the door of His presence-chamber to the wall, like a troubled - it may be angry - but yet faithful child, calls aloud in the ear of Him whose perfect Fatherhood be has yet to learn, "Am I a sea or a whale, that Thou settest a watch over me?"...
