  • 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.

Today I am reading in Hebrews 3-4. And the primary message in both of these chapters is that, as those who testify to having faith in Jesus Christ, which saves us from our sins, and which promises us eternal life with God, we must be careful that we don’t respond to God’s voice speaking to us as...

Trump was asked about the No Kings protest and said: "I looked at the people. They’re not representative of this country, and I looked at all the brand new signs paid for. I guess it was paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics," the president said. "It looks like it was worth checking...
“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous...

Trump lies so much, I need to be selective for this blog. The lies about the ballroom are among his biggest. First, he reassured that the East wing would remain intact. Right...... The cost keeps going up. What do the 'donors' expect in return for their money?

“Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight...

“Do not fret because of evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers. For they will wither quickly like the grass And fade like the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your...
When we read Revelation 2:4, we should ask, "What does it mean to leave our first love?" Tying Revelation 2:4 to Ephesians 3:14 gives us some clues: love = bold text our ongoing reverence and repentant hearts = italicized text remembrance of the heights to which the love of Christ has taken us...

“Turn to me and be gracious to me, For I am lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses. Look upon my affliction and my trouble, And forgive all my sins. Look upon my enemies, for they are many, And they hate me with violent hatred. Guard my soul...
