  • 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.

Blessed Are By Wayne Watson

Blessed Are By Wayne Watson​

Blessed Are

Blessed are the poor in spirit;
God has faithfully revealed
That the riches of the kingdom
With their souls in Christ are sealed.

Blessed are the grieved, the weeping,
Those whose tears for others cry,
Selfless, giving, bearing sorrow
Will be dancing by and by.

Those who hunger and are thirsty,
Craving righteousness and life,
Won't be filled by any other,
Satisfied by none by Christ.

Blessed are the meek, the gentle,
No demands, no claims to rights,
In their patience, strong and mighty
Confidence and faith in Christ.

And to those of tender mercy,
From them falls as gentle rain
Grace and Kindness, sweet compassion,
Mercy given and mercy gained.

Blessed are the true peacemakers
With contentment for the fold.
They cling to promises of heaven,
Working in the field of souls.
