  • 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.

Thy Word Is A Lamp Unto My Feet, A Light Unto My Path

Psalms 119:105 (KJV)
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.



The Word of God informs us of His will, and serves for us as a light on a path in darkness. God's word shows us how to follow the right way; and how to avoid the wrong way.

The lamp of the Word is not the sun, for seeing God would blind our eyes in our present fallen state.

However, we may bless God for the light shining as in a dark place, to guide us until the Sun of Righteousness shall come, and we shall be made capable of seeing Him.

2 Peter 1:19 (KJV)
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Revelation 22:4 (KJV)
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.​

The lamp is fed with the oil of the Spirit. The allusion is to the lamps and torches carried at night before an Eastern caravan.
