  • 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.

The Hidden Source Of Quarrels

"What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you?" (James 4:1 NLT)

The source of quarrels and fights is not external, but everyone that quarrels with the other is unsettle within. Contrary to what many will have us believe about their quarrelsomeness, it is a function of internal conflict. Anyone that is at peace inside cannot quarrel with anyone outside.
At the core of internal conflict is evil desires and inordinate ambitions. These evil desires are by all means demanding to have expressions. They unsettle a man and make him to do whatever it takes to accomplish them.
The way out of these is to bring our inner environ to Jesus at the Cross, and ask Him to crush every one of them. He will also replace them with His eternal and internal peace.

ACTION PLAN: Stop excusing your quarrelsome nature, bring it to Christ at the Cross.

PRAYER: Father, crush the quarrelsome nature in me. Grant me your eternal and internal peace.
