  • 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.

Get out of sin. Become effective

Hi Guys.

I just saw a video that made sense as I have been guilty of it too. (Goes only for about 1 min)
For a long time as a believer, I was stuck in habitual sin. This sin made me feel like I was a hypocrite. Which I was. Because of this feeling, I felt guilty telling the Gospel. I felt like a liar. So, leave your sin. Every time you sin, you will then put off sharing the Gospel with others for even longer. Sin will stop you from doing what Christ has called you into.
But the longer you are away from sin, the more you feel renewed. And the more you push into his word, the more you will love Him. The more you love Him, the more you will be excited about Him and then you will want to tell everyone.
So, stop sinning. It is hindering/stopping your ministry. Love God with all your heart. Then go and preach the Gospel. Become a weapon for God.

Also attend to what was driving you to sin in the first place...
