  • 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.

A Difficult Hill


*** FOOD FOR THOUGHT ***


Researchers at the University of Virginia have found that most people perceive a hill to be steeper than it really is, especially if they are tired or carrying a heavy load. When asked to estimate the slope of a hill, test participants consistently misjudged it, thinking a 10-degree slant was about 30 degrees, and rating a 5-degree slope as nearly 20 degrees. Hardly any of them believed they could be that far off.

When we are burdened and exhausted, even a minor problem can seem too big for us to handle. As we encounter a trial in life, we are tempted to sit down at the base of that difficult hill and stay there, convinced that the grade is too steep for us.

That is why we need the encouragement of God's Word. It draws our attention to our untiring God, who knows our need. Isaiah wrote, "The Creator of the ends of the earth neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might - He increases strength" (Isaiah 40:28-29).

Because we so easily misjudge life's difficulties, we need courage to keep going when we are tempted to quit. Take a step of faith today and join those who depend on the Lord, who run and are not weary, who walk and do not faint (v.31). In His strength, you can conquer any difficult hill.

As we live for Christ and follow Him,
The way may seem quite steep;
But if we trust His grace and strength,
Our steps He will guide and keep.

God always gives enough strength for the next step.


He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.
ISAIAH 40:29

So true! Thanks for sharing that! I need to see that most every morning I think... the hills just keep getting steeper and steeper. I know my God will be with me though, and His strength will carry me forward. (I just have to keep reminding myself of that!!) Thanks again for your words of wisdom and encouragement!

Gabs, I know we talked about this before. BUT I thought of it last night and again just now. I saw a picture of me with a hard hard hard shell around me...mainly my heart. I 'knew' it was there, but God SHOWED it to me last night...and just brought it back to me again, here when I saw anointedpoetess crying. Ya know, I am to the point, where, instead of hurting God more by my acts of ignoring Him, um...among other things lets say...I am ready to say, Lord, i walk away instead of hurting you more or bringing more disgrace to you.
JUST my thoughts at the moment. Seeing it is UGLY. Knowing it was bothersome, but didn't do as much as seeing it. Know what I mean?

Sweetie, if God is showing you something, He is saying: I will help you to overcome this, just take my hand and together we will make this right. Just trust Him. Walking away helps nothing but trust accomplishes everything.:hug: :hug: :hug:

Heavenly Father, I ask you to lift the oppression from this precious child. Lord blow upon it and cause it to dissipate and let her see Son shine instead. Let her feel your great love for her and give her peace and tranquility. In Jesus' name, Amen.:prayer:

yeah, I had to go out, so while I was driving in my van, and I was chatting to the Lord. It is the whole trust area. Can I really trust him? My head says yes..but my heart is like...NO way.

Well sweetie, just remember this: trust is not a heart issue. Its not something we feel, its something we DO. It is an act of our will and sometimes our will must override what we are feeling.
