  • 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.

Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) 12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith...

Scared Jonah afoot, * Suites stare over crosswalk lights. Shadows stomp below. New York City, whale Swall’wing whole his soul, all day. * So small—”Going up!" At his flat, spat out, Splat! Over dry carpet, doubt. ^ God knocks at his door. ^^ Behold, by his heart, Ready to befriend, to dine...

Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed (from Luke 7:7 NKJV, bold is mine) There are a string of Bible verses, here, that I mention or allude to...for a short Gospel song. I use ditties like this to hum by during the day...

Charged “to tell no one”,* Impossible as healings: holy dissonance. Made well by this trust, Now asked to arrest our lips? Oh, mute dilemma! So, captured by love, He told all to all with “Hey! “Guess what Jesus said? “He said, ‘Be made clean.’” When asked “So He heals lepers?”, The healed one...
One way to appreciate the “Great Commission”, is to see what the Good News is, initially through the eyes of the unconverted. Ready? It is too good to be true. Whether heard from the lips of a Christian, seen as the snippet of a Bible verse on a church marquee, or read in a novel quoting...
In response to what I'd have to describe as a person locked in on prospering materially as a Christian (although to be fair, spiritually as well), I pointed out 1 Timothy 6:8 (bolded here): 6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is...
Some have speculated that communication in Heaven might well be via thought. However, there are enough biblical references to give credence to the expectation that verbal communications do now exist there and will in the future. Perhaps also some "thought-talk" will be there for the saints as...
Blessed Divine Love, Greatest gift, bestowed in staggering simplicity: For there was A sentence over us, a Cross; A Sacrifice, then doubt sealed by man; A stone rolled, where, aside, Jesus posed; A woman scurrying back To utter the timeless “Risen!”; Christ seen, listened to, observed in...

Lord, how deep your deep waters, yet You started me shallow, so I could burst upward to confess and to follow! And whether I look up, at sides or down, a cloud of witnesses follows me now. Spirit within! Brethren about! Angels that minister, God’s creation surrounds! No time to be lonely...

Father, truly You have loved us first! How could Heaven’s love be understood or eruditely unearthed? All that remains is for the heart to hear Of Christ’s death for all, of Resurrection to assure. This is favor-come, unsolicited, “Election” by response elicited! Yes, enticed if we treasure...
Acts 4:24,31 (NKJV) 24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them 31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all...

1 Kings 19:11-13 (NKJV-bold text mine) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an...

Apart from sadness on this earth, its misery and toil, comes to us Jesus, Adonai, with mystery mirth: Spirit seven-fold. In eagerness our hearts frame songs, lips intercede to say in melody the truths of HaShem Who gives Gentiles an Age to praise. Come, sing you grafted-in ones from every...
Iron sharpens iron.* Brother, sister, you can discount the effect of distances, of misunderstanding’s grind against the mind. Your walk, your talk, the slightest glint in your countenance, even the hurried expressions on paper, page—of internetted voices and faces before you retire: these add...
Matthew 18:20 (NKJV) For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them Why the emphasis on “I am there”? Isn’t the Spirit of Jesus already resident in the individual believer? Yes, but two is the beginning of the vision of the Body of Christ on earth, its...
Divide asunder,^ so to my cares, Your Spirit-wonders speak as the signposts I need for faith to coax me to obedience, by choice and conviction. How You loved us first!^^ Continue Your work, Jesus, Living Word!^^^ _________ ^ Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 5:6-7 ^^ 1 John 4:19 ^^^ Jesus, Living Word
1 John 3:1-2 (KJV) Behold, what manner of love the Father hath given unto us, that we should called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not. 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...
If we ask the children about Bethlehem, and signal them to tell us why Christmas comes again. If they’ve heard the Gospel of Jesus’ love for them, they will say “It’s running to see what angels said!”^ They will see the Christchild among travelled men, be all the wiser for it, about mercy come...
To ponder the Nativity is to enter into The Longing, in which a felicitation in our hearts of Jesus’ Incarnation turns to questions like “When , Oh Lord, will you come for your Bride?”—“Then, when will You and your Banqueting Table retinue of Heaven come to earth to commence the Millennial Reign...
Luke 2:13-15 (NLT) 13 Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” 15 When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other...
