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 37:1-7 ESV
“Fret not yourself because of evildoers;
be not envious of wrongdoers!
For they will soon fade like the grass
and wither like the green herb.
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will...
“I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in...
A “God” conversation between a 6 year-old relative of mine and I began casually enough. Ben, whose parents are professed atheists, was making an improvised house from playpieces. He’s a gifted child, able to keep a detailed focus on tasks at-hand and yet be attentive enough to talk with someone...
The Struggle with Our Thoughts
One does not arrive at virtue except through knowledge of self and
knowledge of Me, which knowledge is more perfectly acquired
in the time of temptation, because then man knows himself to be nothing,
being unable to lift off himself the pains and...
"But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you, delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles—to whom I am sending you to open...
“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do...
Proverbs 27 Select Verses
1 Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know what a day may bring.
5 Better is open rebuke
than hidden love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
8 Like a bird that strays from its nest
is a man who strays...
Addictions, anxiety, intelligence and the NDE
There is a saying “talk is cheap” and it is very true. For me to talk of ‘trusting God’ no matter how bleak things get is easy to expand on, but not so easy when I am in the midst of some inner turmoil, or worse, an inner void. While it is true that...
"Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.
The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink...
When in the stillness of this moment,
Speak to me, Lord, I humbly pray.
Be my desire, set me on fire,
Teach me to love always.
Help me to walk in fellowship with You,
Listening to You; sit at Your feet.
Whisper Your words to me,
Oh, how gently, guiding me in Your truth.
While we are waiting...
“Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be...
Jecharon answered, "Of course we just leave any one of those alone. They are big and of course it makes sense to be really careful to not upset any one of them with anything you might do."
Hillariah said, "But remember, those of us who received one of those little creatures in an ear to...
In Times of Trial
In times of trial, we are vulnerable to temptations that promise
to resolve our problems. Like the Israelites in the desert, we
are tempted to return to Egypt. It seemed better for them to
be slaves than to persevere in the adverse conditions
of the desert. To go forward...
“For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and...
The Lord Jesus led me to share this old hymn:
Come, Ye Disconsolate
Lyrics by Thomas Moore, 1816
Arr. by Thomas Hastings, 1831
Music by Samuel Webbe, Sr, 1792
Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish,
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your...
Blessed are you when you’re persecuted
Because of your faith in Jesus Christ.
Blessed are you when people insult you,
And falsely say what leads folks to doubt.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is
Great in the heavens. You’re not alone.
When you are persecuted in one place,
Flee to another...
