  • 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.

Adam and Eve had a choice given to them and they took the wrong one. As a result, it is up to us to choose whether we want to follow their choice, self-interest upon which we have made the world in our own image, or alternately, choose instead to follow the Will of God, acting in servitude to...
“Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer...

Anyone remember the soap, "As the World Turns"? I had that song in mind when writing the title. Some good events this week include the election results in Canada. The Liberals were written off at one point, but thanks to Trump's hostility toward Canada and comments, the Canadians voted...

Deseradar managed more than a dozen symbols that day, and he had his wife Fisepel and their children see those and learn what sounds he meant with those. They also used the symbols for spoken sounds combined for showing many words. They were soon all excited for this, and hoped others of the...
“Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity. He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor...
“Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him; When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him. But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot has held fast to His path; I have...
I am reading in Luke 19:28-44. Jesus Christ was on his way to Jerusalem. He sent two of his disciples to fetch him a colt. When they had acquired the colt they brought it to Jesus and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it (see vv. 28-36). “As soon as He was approaching, near...

This was the best picture of the week: ^_^^_^^_^ Have to get laughs when we can, as this administration is anything but funny or good. Apparently other folks are seeing it that way, too, as Trump's approval rating is dropping. Multiple polls show Trump has having the lowest rating at...
When pondering the enslavement of Joseph and his rise to power in Egypt, I find my myself sympathetic to Potiphar--his being deceived by his wife and his unwitting punishment of Joseph. In what follows, I imagine Potiphar's wife coming to grips with her connivances as she attempts to mollify...
“Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. “For yet in a very little while, He who is coming will come, and will not delay. But My righteous one shall...
“We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints… “For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be...

Deseradar explained to his family, "There were others that were using unique marks for sounds of what was spoken, that would be recognized by others, which were heard of by some, including Bonahlem, who had come to our original settlement. What I am making I think would be of importance to keep...
