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.

everyone! hope y'all have a blessed sunday!today at church, we had a guest speaker. Bill Fay. He challenged us to be "fishers' of men" instead of "keepers of our aquariums." what an analogy! He spoke of the Christian sin of "silence." That God wants us to be missionaries...to go out and spread the gospel. Even if it's just to our neighbors or families.
That we will stand b4 God and be judged by our inactions as well as our actions, by what we say, as well as what we do not say. How many times has God placed someone who was unsaved in our path, yet we did not share our faith with them? I am guilty of this. His words went straight to my heart. and i did something i never did before...i went up to the alter and fell to my knees and asked God to forgive me for my sins of silence and to open my heart to fill it with the passion i lack so I may spread His Word to the lost and unsaved. AMAZING!
Jesus said "If you deny me before men, I will deny you before my Father in Heaven." Bill Fay asked some pretty heart changing questions....
Do you only have Christian friends?
What about the unsaved? Didn't Christ "hang out" with the dead, the diseased and the lost?
You are either in a relationship with Jesus Christ, or you are not.
You are either born again, or you are not.
You are either a child of God, or you are not.
He challenged us to share our faith, read our bibles, and be born again by God's definition.
I tell you now, I am ashamed of myself for being any less....
