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.

Scripture define its own categories. Once the Jewish purification framework is laid out, the New Covenant shift from water washing to Spirit purification becomes impossible to miss
Mosaic Law required numerous ceremonial water purification rituals (ablutions): washing hands, feet, bodies...
The Fire That Is Love
I have always been interested in Purgatory. Ii makes complete sense to me, and I believe it is a place of healing, joy, as well as pain, because healing seems to involve pain of some sort. When I pray for the world, I often think of Catherine’s fire. I think of the places...
The Free Gift of God
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23 NASB1995)
From the time I was a teenager through early to mid-adulthood, I was taught this Scripture passage, out of context, in a grouping of other Scriptures...
Mahdi = antichrist - Joel Richardson - YouTube
This video keeps disappearing on YouTube, then I have to track it down again. I'm wondering when it will disappear all together. Therefore, I feel forced to provide a summary of the video transcript because the material is very important in my...
Sadly, this article speaks truth, a truth not many want to hear or believe, but true, nonetheless. This is truth the Lord has been showing me, step by step, the past nearly 22 years since he called me to this ministry of sharing my times I have with him in his word each day here on the internet...
Jesus and His followers relied heavily on the scriptures of what we now call the OT (their Torah). His church was formed on the truth from God within those old scriptures, specifically put God's will ahead of our own and love all as self. The NT was more a 'what's happening in the 1st century'...
The Passage for today is in Psalm 97, verses 7 and 10:
“Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images,
Who boast themselves of idols;
Worship Him, all you gods…
Hate evil, you who love the Lord,
Who preserves the souls of His godly ones;
He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.”...
Sometimes I sincerely feel like I just do not want to be on this earth anymore. Actually, if I am being honest, that is how I feel essentially every day of my life.
More and more, as the days go by, I hate this world and my life with more vehemence.
Some people would say that it is wrong for a...
Proverbs 21:6,7,10,27 NASB1995
“6 The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death.
7 The violence of the wicked will drag them away,
Because they refuse to act with justice.
10 The soul of the wicked desires evil;
His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes...
Praying the Mercy Chaplet
I love the Mercy Chaplet and pray it slowly every day. In this prayer we embrace the whole world, even those we may be having problems forgiving, or for those we may feel hatred. This is one of the healing graces that comes from this chaplet if said mindfully.
Yes...
“Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of...

“When your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What do the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments mean which the Lord our God commanded you?’ then you shall say to your son, ‘We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and the Lord brought us from Egypt with a mighty hand. Moreover, the Lord...

Scripture Study Principles
All Scripture is written for us, but not all Scripture is written to us.
Myles Coverdale's classic interpretive grid still holds:
Of whom is it spoken? To whom? With what words? At what time? Under what circumstances? What comes before & after? What is the intent?
In...
The minute I felt safe-
The ground shook.
Then I shook.
I had to change.
The Holy Spirit was speaking-
And, I couldn’t ignore him.
He pursued me in my sleep.
In my thoughts-
I could no longer run.
If the Holy Spirit wants something-
He won’t be denied.
He won’t take no for an answer.
Once...

I had two dreams about Donald Trump.
In the first dream, I saw him in a black suit, asleep in a bed with two young blond women—one on each side. I don’t think they looked like twins, but they were very similar. He was in the center, and his hands were together, like when...
“So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; and...
