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.

Chapter Three
We’re Not All the Same
May 27, 2023
Acts 21,22,23 and Acts 24:1-23 Summary
The apostle Paul was now in Jerusalem, and he was being accused by some Jews of things he did not do. And so the tribune arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains. And he was placed in...
Another great timing, at least in my life. Enjoy!
Double Blow
So a couple coworkers told you about this nightclub they joined. They say it has improved their on-the-job performance and invited you to attend. You didn’t think you really needed one, but being open-minded, you decide...
The Major Love Story and Bearing his Fruit
Mark 22:27-28
Then Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath!”
We often make a great deal about the law...
Chapter Two
Be Aware
May 26, 2023
“When it was day, the Jews made a plot and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. There were more than forty who made this conspiracy. They went to the chief priests and elders and said, ‘We have strictly bound...
“Bondservants, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man...

I sense the Lord Jesus leading me to repost an internet book he gave me to write back in May of 2023 called, “The Church Under Fire,” which will be posted one chapter at a time (7 chapters plus a forward). This is my testimony of some church experiences that I had over a span of about 40 years...
James, Chapter 2. Saving Faith or a Disgrace?
The book of James reminds me of that famous scene in Jerry Maguire where Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding's characters are passionately yelling, "Show me the money!"
To boot, Cuba accompanies it with a soulful dance. Gotta love a man that knows how...
“I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know...
When Laughter becomes Horrific
Have you ever had an attack of the giggles at the most inappropriate time? I have. Seems like it is something that runs in my family. Can feel so awful when it happens because it just seems so wrong. Like the time I was a bridesmaid and the maid of...

Discussing Theology, and Everything Else
Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up.
~1 Corinthians 8:1
I love theology.
Why?
Because I love God and theology is another tool God can...
“So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him...
“And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a...
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for...
