  • 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.

My Understanding: Although the author of Lamentations is not known for sure, many attribute the writings to Jeremiah. His nation was judged by God, so he was among them when they went through this time of judgment and suffering. Jeremiah begins this passage by talking about Jerusalem and her...

Friday, July 10, 2009, 9:43 a.m. – When I sat down to read earlier this morning, I originally read the following passage from Isaiah 58, thinking that, perhaps, the previous passage (from Isaiah 57:14-21) went along with yesterday’s reading. Yet, as I contemplated the words to the song “I AM”, I...
