• 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.

Hear my cry, Merciful King,
I've lost sight of things above;
slowly replacing it's promises with
false delusions of an earthly peace.

Hear my call, Lamb of God,
The just man has fallen seven times -
giving ear to the seducing doctrines
which buried the glimpse of eternity.

Hear my heart, O Prince of Peace,
Purge it of it's wickedness, as I remember
in my shame the soul-cleansing blood;
forgive me of my transgressions.

May Your grace be sufficient, My Shepherd, My Judge,
For I know that this is not a battle I can fight on my own.

Bless me with remembrance, Holy Spirit,
Instill in me the Word of God, that I may be
comforted in all my troubles, keeping the promises
which sustained the saints of the past.

For even they fell short of Your glory, but Your mercy kept them whole.

"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith
worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work,
that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."


"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than
of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might
be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing
of Jesus Christ:"


"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial
which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened
unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of
Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed,
ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached
for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of
glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil
spoken of, but on your part he is glorified."

Thank you both. :) I wrote this when I was going through a difficult time, and it's definitely been beneficial to me.

I had someone tell me that it looked like it was straight from Psalms. That made my week! lol.

Thanks again.

It does have the 'rhythm' of psalms.....

It seems when we're pouring our hearts out before God, a certain 'rhythm' develops.....from the depths of our despair to the heights of praising Him....like a 'heartbeat', is the 'rhythm' of pourin' it out to Abba...

Psalms has always been precious to me because David held nothing back. He just poured out his soul like a river before God....

Perhaps that's why he was the apple of God's eye.
