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.

Above All - Michael W. Smith

I like Michael W. Smith. Wait, I remember hearing this song as a kid somewhere, on the Christian radio, either by Michael W. Smith or Lenny LeBlanc. It was released in 2003, so no wonder why I remember this one. A certified classic.
Thank you for taking me back to my younger years. These worship ballads sometimes bring me to tears of joy for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jewish professors seek freedom from union accused of antisemitism: 'Cruel and oppressive'
- By Michie
A group of Jewish professors petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to free them from the representation of a union they view as antisemitic because it maligned Israel as an “apartheid state” and defended the anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, among other actions.
The six professors at the City University of New York, five of whom are observant Jews, contend that they have the right to disassociate from the Professional Staff Congress union, but New York law forces them to accept the union’s representation.
The Fairness Center, along with the National Right to Work Foundation, filed a lawsuit in 2022 on the professors’ behalf. The lawsuit argues that forcing the professors to accept representation from the union is a violation of their First Amendment rights. Last year, the professors appealed the case in appeals courts, and earlier this year, the case made its way to the Supreme Court.

Financing a millionaire lifestyle: Pastors generate wealth from life, business coaching

What is a Mastermind?
Many life coaches refer to their coaching sessions as Mastermind events. Self help author Napoleon Hill popularized the concept with his book, Think and Grow Rich.
Hill recommended that his readers create groups of likeminded people which he called a “master mind” to pursue personal and intellectual growth.
Hills writings, which popularized the law of attraction, have been embraced by both televangelists and occult
****************
The Law of Attraction is a new age concept all about manipulating the universe.
The New Thought concept of the law of attraction is rooted in ideas that come from various philosophical and religious traditions. In particular, it has been inspired by Hermeticism, New England transcendentalism, specific verses from the Bible, and Hinduism.
It’s a hodge podge of things that is not compatible with Christianity.

New Believer Threatened by Family
[6] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Jordanian Christian.
A Jordanian Christian has received death threats since coming to faith in Christ. While undergoing training to become an imam [an Islamic religious leader], the man placed his trust in Christ. His conversion angered members of his family, who have threatened his life if he doesn't successfully complete his training and move to a Gulf state to take up an Islamic post. "Your head will be on the street," one of his family members told him. Front-line workers have requested prayer for the new believer as they determine how to best serve him.

Faith Comes by Hearing
