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.

Whether we are smart enough to seek something greater than ourselves on our own or, as some believe, that God wakes us up to do so, this will always be a matter of debate between religious factions and, quite frankly, yet another rabbit trail that leads us further away from the Kingdom.
We must...
They all finished the meal where they ate together. It was then that Jippera wife of Tenaspir announced that she was quite sure that she was pregnant. All were happy for her, yet talk about the delivery of her child did not continue long as all were interested in what the coming sign to them...
“By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, ‘I have come to know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that...
“Incline Your ear, O Lord, and answer me;
For I am afflicted and needy.
Preserve my soul, for I am a godly man;
O You my God, save Your servant who trusts in You.
Be gracious to me, O Lord,
For to You I cry all day long.
Make glad the soul of Your servant,
For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.”...
It’s beginning to feel a little like Sarajevo in June 1914
I asked Grok AI to tell me why it feels like Sarajevo, 1914. Here is it's response based on the article:

Proverbs 14:12,14,16,18 NASB1995
Proverbs 14:12: “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”
A way that seems right to someone does not necessarily have to be a way that they believe is right, just, and moral. It just means that they are content with the way...

If humans continually thrive on their own wisdom and self-reliance and pride, why do they claim to follow God? Self-reliance is idolatry. We want for ourselves, not only salvation, but recognition and a sense of worthiness. We proclaim God, but fail to follow Him. We falsely claim our schemes...
I am glad that in my culture a renewed emphasis is being placed on teen and young adult males, that they may develop in their God-intended masculine roles, whether within the life of the church or in secular pursuits.
Notice the role of young men (described by Moses) when Israel was led in the...
When I was a child I played on a playground, and one of the playground apparatuses on which we played was called a “teeter-totter” or “seesaw.” Here is a description of what it was like: “It is designed for two people to sit on opposite ends and ride up and down, with one person rising while the...
The Mind of Christ
The love of God will stretch your love beyond your physical capacities. The expansion of the tent of your heart is a most painful process. You have to choose to love those most difficult to love. You must always choose love, patience, and tenderness, and never give in to...
Jesus says: ‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that...
Argon said, "So that means that because you were able to communicate with certain creatures around here with understanding, our community can continue in peace through future generations without threats from any of the wildlife all around us here."

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these...
I have been walking with the Lord for 19 years now, and I have been through the valleys, on the mountains, and everywhere in between. I have slipped, I have fallen, but God has always been faithful; He has been right there waiting to help me back up again.

How important is it for a father to consistently model faith in Messiah Jesus?
Well, let's look at how the mentioning of the honored Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac,

I Am is referred to...
The More Excellent Way: An Essay on 1 Corinthians 13
1 Corinthians 13 is often called the hymn of love, but Paul did not write it as poetry for weddings or sentimental occasions. He wrote it as a corrective for a fractured community. The Corinthians were gifted, intelligent, spiritually...
Racism
Trump posted a video on his Truth Social showing a snippet of monkeys with the faces of Obama and Michelle Obama. It is a demonstration of how racist the current president is. Picturing black people as monkeys has a long racist history. It was a recurrent theme in Tea Party...
“O God, arrogant men have risen up against me,
And a band of violent men have sought my life,
And they have not set You before them.
But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.
Turn to me, and be gracious to me;
Oh grant Your strength...
