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.

Psalms 5:3-6 ESV
“O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.
For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil may not dwell with you.
The boastful shall not stand before your eyes;
you hate all evildoers.
You destroy those...
I now pronounce you man and wife,
Now go and live together life,
And love each other, say a prayer,
Your love not get in disrepair.
For life, it has its ups and downs,
And romance may not hang around,
And prettiness not always be,
Especially when two become three.
Love depends not on emotions...

Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God the Father, who is the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – left his throne in heaven, came to earth and was born as a baby to a human mother with God as his birth Father, for he was conceived of the Holy Spirit...
We once walked with God and through our self centered choice of putting our will ahead of the will of God, we were sent packing from that garden between heaven and earth to learn individually and as a species the error of doing so. Yet man for the most part still seeks to blame others for our...
Summary Matthew 22:1-7
Jesus Christ told a parable regarding the kingdom of heaven. A king gave a wedding feast for his son, so he sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. So he called for them again, but they paid no attention and went...
Love is ultimately a description of fruit growing in our lives, in the “Garden of With All”,*
where the divinely commanded grows naturally, having roots of belief, trunks of hearing,
waters of faith.** Love’s seeds, full of zeal, find receptive soil in heart, mind, soul and
effort—these...

Matthew 16:5-12 ESV
When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread. Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.” But Jesus, aware of this...
Childlike Prisoner
It is interesting writing prisoners. Each is of course unique in how they are accepting their situation. One prisoner that I am writing is named Gregory, and he comes across as very intense, but with a mind that is more childlike than adult. Not sure how far to go with this...

Whate’er You will choose to mention.

Will I bow in full submission?
Yes, Lord, as You give me vision.
Do I care about the others

The Parable of the Weeds
Matthew 13:24-30 ESV
He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. So when the plants came up...
Solima asked, "What is it we are seeing further ahead?"
Jecharon answered, "There is a narrow valley ahead that we were told about, with lush vegetation along a creek that runs along through that valley, before we climb up out of that again. But we can see the mountain climb ahead is not as...
Introduction
Sometimes the Lord speaks to me in dreams or in visions, but they are more like parables to point me in a direction regarding the specific application the Lord would have me to make to a particular passage of Scripture, like Jesus did when he taught in parables. And sometimes he...
Matthew 10:16-22 ESV
“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear...

“And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, ‘Save us, Lord; we are perishing.’ And he said to...
Could the action described in Mark 2:3-5 be an early form of “retaining and forgiving sin”?
The point is that when Jesus “saw their faith”, it was then that He told the paralytic “your sins are forgiven.
It appears to me that the ones carrying the stretcher knew that the man needed healing...
