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.

“..submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also...

Now I am looking through the window
In the corner of my room.
I see people walking here and there
Seemingly without a care.
I wonder, “Do they truly know Him?
Do they think of Him at all?
Do they think of what He’s done for them?
Have they given Him a call?
“Do they wonder if He’s listening
To...

You could say that a great portion of the church meant to represent the truth of God which ran contrary to the ways of the world and the governments of man, at one time turned around and joined forces with the Roman Empire, betraying one Kingdom for another by aligning with opposing values. Is...
