  • 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.

Critical Issues on Trump Policies in South America. There are a host of issues concerning Trump's foreign policies for South America. From the boat attacks to possibly boots on the ground, Christians need to consider as much as possible before giving their support for various activities...
Love is a brave thing, unconditional in sway,^ inflexibly pure. Warrior-like, love defends to bring a peace in all things, takes on hurt, harms not. We may hesitate, balk at swift, dark tides.* We admit and thrive. Unlovingness flees when we show mercy by faith, when dreams of calm wait.**...
“Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight...
“The Old Cross and the New” is an essay by A.W. Tozer, first published in 1946 in “The Alliance Witness,” which was the official weekly magazine of the “Christian and Missionary Alliance” (C&MA), a missions focused church denomination of which he was a part. A.W. Tozer served as the magazine’s...
“I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will...
“Do not fret because of evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers. For they will wither quickly like the grass And fade like the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your...
When we read Revelation 2:4, we should ask, "What does it mean to leave our first love?" Tying Revelation 2:4 to Ephesians 3:14 gives us some clues: love = bold text our ongoing reverence and repentant hearts = italicized text remembrance of the heights to which the love of Christ has taken us...
“Turn to me and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses. Look upon my affliction and my trouble, And forgive all my sins. Look upon my enemies, for they are many, And they hate me with violent hatred. Guard my soul...
“The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their...

“Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For this, ‘You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,’ and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, ‘You shall...

“Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer...
Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, saying, “Send to all the exiles, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite, “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, although I did not send him, and he has made you trust in a lie,” therefore thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am...
“Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God; And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work.” (Psalm 62:11-12 NASB1995) God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – has existed always. And he is the creator of all who have...
How We Gaze on Others When we consecrate ourselves to the Lord, we include our bodies so that they manifest what is in our hearts. St. Francis of Assisi said that serving God means serving our brothers and sisters “more tenderly than a mother cares for her children in the flesh.” By being...

Proverbs 19 Select Verses NASB1995 1 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in speech and is a fool. 3 The foolishness of man ruins his way, And his heart rages against the Lord. 5 A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will not escape. 15...
