  • 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.

Three Qualities

Source: A Three-legged Stool - The Upper Room Devotional, January 2010

As Christians, we need a firm foundation in order to do our daily work for the kingdom of God. This foundation is our Bible-based faith.

Three qualities of God make up the three strong legs of my foundation:
God is love (1 John 4:8); God is holy (Lev. 11:44), and God is spirit (John 4:24).​

If we put our weight upon one attribute of God to the exclusion of the others, we will surely slip and fall.
  • Concentrating on God's love alone may cause us to lapse into permissive sentimentality.
  • Emphasizing God's holiness alone may cause us to become rigid, legalistic, and judgmental.
  • Focusing on God's spirit alone may motivate us for service, but we may easily burn out apart from the underlying support of God's love and holiness.
