  • 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.

Thought & Speech

2 Cor 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Pro 4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
(FROWARD = Stubbornly contrary, disobedient, obstinate.)

Pro 6:
12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

Pro 10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life:

Pro 21:
21 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
(MY NOTE: If the Lord can turn a kings heart toward Him, he can turns ours as well!)

23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

Pro 12:14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth

Pro 13:2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth

Pro 16:24 ""Pleasant words"" ""are as an honeycomb"", ""sweet to the soul""' and HEALTH to the BONES.
(MY NOTE: Positive words of grace, encouragement, optimism, forgiveness are HEALTH to the BONES!)

Pro 4:
20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

22 For they are life unto those that find them & HEALTH to ALL their FLESH.

Pro 18:21 DEATH & LIFE are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereo
(Question: What's on your vocabulary menu today? Bon Appetit!)
