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.

A couple of friends have died recently. One was the man that in an earlier Blog I said was a real Prince. He had heart problems and the eldest son is trying to come to terms with the fact that he now is the head of the family. The other was the father of a friend in my congregation. He had...
If you feel yourself to be a Christian in good standing with God and someone says the above to you, how would you feel exactly? I feel a bit like Paul who had to put up with a load of old geezers who thought themselves better than he was in every area. But Paul was made of tough stuff as pretty...
If you could change one thing what would it be? Would it be an end to sickness, war, death, poverty, malnutrition, racism or something else?
The fact that Jesus asked us to pray for God's Kingdom to come upon the earth is no empty request. This is the Kingdom that will rid the earth of all the...
There was an article I read on the BBC website that featured a woman's musings about not putting too much stock in the world's financial markets to bail us out of trouble. Quite right as well, as the so-called credit crunch and the collapse of the sub-prime mortgage fiasco have gone to prove...
My District Convention is over, but it might be still possible for you to attend one. They run for a couple of months yet in Europe and America before going south to other countries. Some 12 million went last year to "Follow the Christ!" That is nearly double the number of actual Witnesses on...
Everyone who is of a religious persuasion knows just how important guidance is from God. It can mean the difference between life and death. If we truly understand that these are the "End Times" as foretold by scripture then we need all the God-given guidance we can get. It might mean a sacrifice...
The Scriptures say that not many of noble birth would accept the truth of God's Word. The rich young ruler who wanted to serve the Lord could not let go of his possessions, for they were many and he was fond of them.
In my congregation there are members of a royal family, I kid you not. You...
It's becoming a real worry for many. Bad weather, poor growing seasons and the switch to bio-fuel crops have all played their part in creating a very worrying situation: that the world may face it's worst food crisis for many a year or indeed it's worse crisis ever. The poor will be affected...
I've been umming and ah-ing for some time about starting a blog. There are so many things to talk about. Thre's the conventions from early summer onwards are entitled "Guided by God's Spirit" which should be a cracker. The forum members who made it to the Follow the Christ conventions last year...
