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.

“O Lord, I call upon You; hasten to me!
Give ear to my voice when I call to You!
May my prayer be counted as incense before You;
The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Do not incline my heart to any evil thing...
Wow, where to start. I had been traveling and then recuperating, so I am using memes again this week.
Hegseth was grilled hard this week and Sen. Duckworth certainly had strong words.
Noem is blowing through money, too, including spending $100 million on TV commercials that praise...
“How great are Your works, O Lord!
Your thoughts are very deep.
A senseless man has no knowledge,
Nor does a stupid man understand this:
That when the wicked sprouted up like grass
And all who did iniquity flourished,
It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.
But You, O Lord, are on...
The huge creature, the underearthworm, continued to be around the wall, going along it on the outside of the garden with drenched plants all around in it, seemingly needing to feed right there. Those watching soon decided that their plants they needed to have growing were not threatened by this...
As some of you may or may not be aware, when the Lord called me to this ministry in 2004, and he had me begin writing down what he was teaching me from my times with him in his word each day, he also began opening my eyes to so many things about what was going on in my nation and in the world...
“But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is...
“With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel...
Our Place in the Body of Christ
Silence allows us to get in touch with our sorrows so that we can enter them and unite them to the sorrows of Jesus.
Then our sufferings are no longer obstacles in our path to God but actually become the path to union with Him.
When Mary embraced her Son as in...
“Do not let your heart envy sinners,
But live in the fear of the Lord always.
Surely there is a future,
And your hope will not be cut off.
Listen, my son, and be wise,
And direct your heart in the way.
Do not be with heavy drinkers of wine,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;
For the heavy...
We are often considered dreamers because we don't like this world we have made in our own image. That means we don't like us and that can make a lot of enemies, not because we want to, but because others resent our dislike of who we are. But to many, the dream (the Kingdom) makes sense, while...
Interesting week. It culminated in a military parade in D.C., and about 2000 rallies to protest Trump and his policies. This is my favorite image from the Philadelphia rally via HuffPost):
Some on the right cannot see why these rallies were needed and may ignore the fact that millions...
The Bible, from front to back, is about following the Will of God, not of man. Anyone claiming to be led by the Holy Spirit will be known by their works which diametrically oppose the self serving will of man. As Jesus said, servitude to the Father and to all in need. No 'self' involved.
"Thy...
Jesus said He did nothing of His accord, only the will of the Father, as should we. Neither Jesus nor we are to do anything of our own accord, other than what is directed. We are free to decorate that cake any way we want (as Adam once named what was in the Garden), but the recipe is the...
Once upon a time, early institutionalized religion deemed it unwise for the populace to have access to scripture. They were partially right because scripture used improperly could detract from the original meaning. They decided, in order to control the narrative, they would promote their own...
“But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I...
