  • 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 grateful for... (2)

I give thanks for the fellowship we have as Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Our love of Jesus Christ and appreciation for what He has done for us are wonderful bonds between us. Just think, we will be spending Eternity together with our Lord and Saviour.

Until then:

2 Corinthians 9:8-15 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) 11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. 12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; 13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; 14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. 15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

I've been in some of those places more than once, so you will be in my prayers. Going through hard times makes us more thankful for things we many times take for granted. We even had a couple of times without heat when the children were still home. I can assure you that none of us take for granted being warm. We know that God gives us all good things and we try to always give thanks. I will be praying that God supplies all of your needs.

Thank you, for your Christian :hug: caring & concerned prayers :pray: each is appreciated.

But compared to real-challenges started decades ago, a few mentioned in another thread; aforementioned things up there are nothing!

3 John 1:2
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

And yet I've been spared in praising :) God

Romans 8:24-28 For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth? 25 But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 26 And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; 27 and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.

I love Romans 8 and like to study it often. The above portion of Scripture is just part of the beauty and truth of Romans 8. I firmly believe that Christians can live in Romans 8 right now, even in this short life. I'm convinced that the key is yielding for God's Use every day. I'm not hinting that we won't have trials, troubles, and illnesses - rather that we will have God's Grace, God's Love, and God working things out for our good. Romans 8 also speaks about the power of prayer. Just think - we have the Holy Spirit of God living in our hearts as a guide and comforter.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (KJV) 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

We are not walking alone - God is with us.

God's help through a painful day and friends (cyber and otherwise) who listened.



PTL for answered prayers
although sometimes His answers are not-quite, what we expected
He knows our needs so much better than we do
and by His grace... we give testament to His love and forgiveness for us
and we, being witness[es]
are able to give Him all of the praise and the glory, He is so-merciful

God Bless you Sis' Sue :hug:

your Bro'

A humbling phone call from an old, dear friend, saying that the greatest blessing of his week was the sermon I gave last Sunday. What an awesome privilege it is to teach the word of God, and to know that it has touched someone!

Michael

Amen Michael!

I give thanks for all who shared God's Word with me and taught me throughout my entire life. I firmly believe God's Promise that His Word will never return void. I also think of this Scripture:

Isaiah 52:6-7 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Romans 10:14-15 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
