  • 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.

My church is so small and non-responsive to anything new. Bible study doesn't fly because only a few attend. I'm thinking about looking elsewhere. I do attend, on occasion, a Bible study at another church.
That's ok. You need to go where you're fed. I've gone to different stuff at different churches. You know what else? You get to meet more Christians, too. And maybe that 'snuggler' might be there, toots :)

Well, I'm not being fed at my church. I stay because I'm on the trustees and teach SS but that shouldn't be a reason.

Snuggler eh? Hmmmmm...never thought about it that way. ;)

Good morning John!

Good morning precious friends! :hug:

Hey, John, how are you doing today?

Dawnie - I need a HUGE cup of coffee today. I have a ton of things (well, ok - maybe a slight exaggeration) I have to do. But I don't have to GO to work, so I can be on here and do my stuff. Yay. It is a good day.
Good morning. Good morning. I've had my coffee now, thanks Dumpling!!

I've struggled with this at different times too. Just be sure you are really praying about it and listening to God. Remember that God calls us to a vision not a church. It sounds like your church may be lacking vision. Vision is important so that a chruch can grow. Some chruches have a vison but that vision is just a "great idea" and never gets gollwed through on.

Very good point. The 'vision' is important for all of us individually - as well as a church body.

Thanks EJ, never thought of it that way either.
