• 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.

  • 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.

Any guesses? Why of course you know! Those grand offsets to our victory in Him. 1. Satan, 2. Carnality, 3. Ignorance

As a Christian, I spent years in one of these and a walk in hellish defeat - ignorance, which drowned out most of my faith. But, thank God I rose up and shook myself off and aligned with someone who had the skill to disciple this 'babe' in Christ.

The world was fierce for the early Christians to maintain themselves sound in the faith, do you think it remained at that level of severity through the years? I can assure you not!! Even under the admonition of the Apostles themselves. Yet, the promise of His strength to endure remains the same,

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:4)​

Ignorance must be built up in the word.

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)​
