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.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 ESV
“Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, ‘There is peace and security,’ then sudden...
No Two Souls are Alike
“I implore you, live in My love every single second. I don’t force you. I never force,
even with regard to My gifts. You are free to take or leave them. How often your
freedom has crucified Me! And so, I wait . . . I wait for centuries. Don’t you realize
that I’ve been...
John 3:16 NASB
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.”
“For God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may...
The Healing that comes with Confession of Sins
"We are in a supernatural struggle" with evil, the pope said, "even though we already know the final outcome will be Christ's victory over the powers of evil. This victory truly takes place every time a penitent is absolved. Nothing drives away and...
Psalms 49:5-6,13-15 ESV
“Why should I fear in times of trouble,
when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me,
those who trust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?
“This is the path of those who have foolish confidence;
yet after them people approve of...
Gordian Knot/Human Situation
The myth about the Gordian Knot relates to how Alexander the Great dealt with the problem of untying it. He simply got a sword and cut it in half, and by doing so, he became, over a short period of time, the conqueror of the world. Of course, did he really deserve...
I cannot stress this enough! We live in a time in our history unlike any other, I believe, where disinformation, misimpressions, fakery, lies, manipulations of truth, trickery, and the "photoshopping," altering, and otherwise total twisting of words spoken, and of actual events, and videos, and...
Ever since the Garden people have focused on self; self absorption, self interest, self justification, self determination, etc. God says to us over and over, His will before the will of man. Care for all others. It's that simple. And His will is simple (Jesus summed it up in His two...
Romans 11:25-36 ESV
“Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,
‘The Deliverer will come...
Romans 11:7-16 ESV
“What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, as it is written,
’God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.’
And David says,
’Let their...
Romans 11:1-6 ESV
“I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against...
I am reading in Matthew 23, and it is a very long passage, so I will only quote parts of it, and I will summarize some of it, too. But Matthew 23 is primarily dedicated to Jesus’ words describing the character and the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and the scribes of his day. But there are many who...
2 Samuel 7:22 ESV
“Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.”
The Lord is leading me this afternoon to look at the subject of the greatness of God, but specifically in the area of his...
1 John 2:18-25 ESV
“Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But...
The Conversion of the World
“You, at least you, child, is your soul filled with Me?
Do you breathe for Me alone?
Do you still put your interests before Mine,
or in your earthly pilgrimage do you carry Me before you like a lantern?
Have you made My anxieties yours?
Have you taken your part...
Psalms 27:11-14 ESV
“Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they breathe out violence.
“I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord...
