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.
Gov. Bill Lee shares how his faith guided him after wife's death, how he first met Jelly Roll at Nat'l Prayer Breakfast
- By Michie
At the 74th annual National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee shared how his Christian faith helped him get through the suffering and grief that he and his children felt following the tragic death of his wife.
Lee gave the keynote address at the annual gathering in the nation's capital, where he recounted how he and his children struggled with deep sorrow after his first wife, Carol Ann Lee, died in July 2000.
He recounted thinking that he was “the most blessed man ever” shortly before his wife unexpectedly died in a horse riding accident, saying that his life “took a very dark turn” that day.
Lee talked about “the staggering grief” of his children, which included tough questions from a 4-year-old and his oldest daughter later attempting suicide with a gun, thankfully surviving.
“The days of my life had become chapters of grief, brokenness and sorrow,” he recalled.
Lee recounted ordering a marble grave marker for his wife in the family cemetery, and being left alone with the marker engraved with a Celtic cross and the Bible verse Proverbs 31.

World Vision calls for urgent assistance in DRC after landslide killed over 200
- By Michie
The Evangelical humanitarian organization World Vision is pleading for humanitarian assistance following a recent landslide in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which claimed over 200 lives and an estimated 70 children.
In a statement published Tuesday, the United States-headquartered charitable organization reacted to the Jan. 28 landslide at the Rubaya artisanal mining site in Masisi Territory, North Kivu, where children work in the mines.
World Vision warns that the disaster has "had major consequences for communities already weakened by years of armed conflict, forced displacement, and chronic poverty." Amid years of conflict, a desire to control mineral-rich areas has fueled violence that has pushed countless families from their homes and has left children with "few options other than unsafe and poorly regulated mining or other hazardous work to survive.”

$1 million a day: TSA flags suspicious cash outflow at Minneapolis–St. Paul Airport

Your post simply said that Solomon wasn't a reputable source, so I provided a source from a local Minneapolis news affiliate that is reputable.
Literally every single post of your in this thread had to do with concerns about the source that the other poster used
I addressed that directly by providing a credible source (a local-to-Minneapolis mainstream affiliate leveraging the statements of a 15 year FBI joint task force veteran talking about the exact same things happening 7 years ago)
Which point of yours am I not addressing?

Jeff Bezos Flushes Washington Post
- By DaisyDay

Hundreds of staffers have been fired abruptly. At least one journalist has been stranded in war zone Kyiv.
www.newyorker.com
Bezos’s words at that meeting [September 4, 2013, the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' first meeting with the staff of the Washington Post], about “a new golden era for the Washington Post,” were reassuring. Bob Woodward asked why he had purchased the paper, and Bezos was clear about the commitment he was prepared to make. “I finally concluded that I could provide runway—financial runway—because I don’t think you can keep shrinking the business,” he said. “You can be profitable and shrinking. And that’s a survival strategy, but it ultimately leads to irrelevance, at best. And, at worst, it leads to extinction.”
...Then, early Wednesday morning, newsroom employees received an e-mail announcing “some significant actions.” They were instructed to stay home and attend a “Zoom webinar at 8:30 a.m.” Everyone knew what was coming—mass layoffs.
The scale of the demolition, though, was staggering—reportedly more than three hundred newsroom staffers. The announcement was left to the executive editor, Matt Murray, and human-relations chief Wayne Connell; the newspaper’s publisher, Will Lewis, was nowhere to be seen as the grim news was unveiled. In what Murray termed a “broad strategic reset,” the Post’s storied sports department was shuttered “in its current form”; several reporters will now cover sports as a “cultural and societal phenomenon.” The metro staff, already cut to about forty staffers during the past five years, has been shrunk to about twelve; the foreign desks will be reduced to approximately twelve locations from more than twenty; Peter Finn, the international editor, told me that he asked to be laid off. The books section and the flagship podcast, “Post Reports,” will end. Shortly after the meeting, staffers received individualized e-mails letting them know whether they would stay or go. Murray said the retrenched Post would “concentrate on areas that demonstrate authority, distinctiveness, and impact,” focussing on areas such as politics and national security. This strategy, a kind of Politico-lite, would be more convincing if so many of the most talented players were not already gone.
How Jeff Bezos Brought Down the Washington Post
The Amazon founder bought the paper to save it. Instead, with a mass layoff, he’s forced it into severe decline.

Many people from both sides of the political spectrum have their doubts at times (especially these days) about estimates and statistics. Speaking of Jimmy Kimmel. I typically watch the 10 O'clock news at night just before I turn off the TV and go to sleep right when Jimmy Kimmel is coming on. Now on multiple occasions, I have briefly watched his show to see if he could get through just one night without bashing Trump but so far he is batting 1,000.

Pray for Taliban Persecutors
[7] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for hearts to be softened.
As the Taliban government is working to eliminate all religions other than Islam, pray that they will be won to Christ. "The secret police go to homes at random to look for evidence of people practicing a different faith," said a front-line worker.

Audio Bible Imports Banned
[8] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Bible distribution.
Despite Benin having a significant Christian population of 30%, front-line workers were recently told they could not import audio Bibles into the country. "We have a shipment that had been repeatedly turned away by customs officials," said a front-line worker about the devices that are very effective in a country with around 50% illiteracy. "We kept resubmitting the boxes for approval, and finally they told us that shipments of audio Bibles would no longer be allowed into the country." Read More.
