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.

Others there agreed, and ideas for what might be used in any further story being developed were traded around. Soon after the gathered people of this small settlement departed to each go to their own of the simple homes that were recently built, and had lasted through the great storm that had...
(for when celebrating the first coming of Messiah Jesus)
One still small voice, from paper, leapt
Into action, brought life to a dead spirit.
“For God so loved”--how could it be?*
A flicker of hope within self, to all around.
Really, so personal? Can such goodness endure?
But those thoughts...
Christmas. The season of good will, peace on earth and other dreams. A time of decorations and celebration and of giving. Oh, how we like to give and get those presents. We've built an entire custom out of giving and receiving in the form of Santa Claus, and using commercialism to create the...

“For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty, how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After...
Written after reading Luke 2:8-20, about the birth of Messiah (“the Christ”) Jesus.
I imagined a hymn tune for it.
While shepherds fires dispersed the wolves,
The heavens opened sky,
Then angels sang, explained the spark
That brightened human eyes.
They told of how a babe was born,
Which bade...
“There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to...

A Long Slow Journey
Tenderness has the power to melt the most hardened hearts steeped in pride. As we receive God’s love in our hearts, our identity as His beloved sons and daughters is restored. The tenderness of God heals. The caress of God disinfects and cleanses our wounds. The tenderness...
“As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will...
(After viewing the leaf-strewn, wooded area in the back yard, a day after Thanksgiving)
Near woods, unashamed,
Regal trees above downed leaves,
Years-old timber lay.
Too early to dream?
Not to those who know green comes
As sure as frost came.
John’s new Heaven,^ near:
The fallenness shouts...

“All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble, and make straight paths for your feet, so that...
“Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; that I may make it clear in the...

Prayer is the key
Tenderness is the virtue that allows the love in your heart to be expressed through touch, sight, and speech.
God is love; therefore, during My time on earth, My love was revealed through the touch of My hands,
the gaze of My eyes, and the words I spoke.
