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.

I spoken from the pulpit, lead the congregation in prayers, Worked with the youth ministry, outreach missions into our inner city youth, fed the homeless, Started and maintained very successful singles program for several years, Read, honored, rejoiced, lamented, prayed my way through most of it...
I stayed busy and when I was with those I served with, it was good, but alone. I felt really unfull filled. Like I needed to be doing something that really had true noticeable impact on someone's life..
so I offered Myself to this Idea and asked God to bless it. He most certainly filled my request.. On the outside to my church I am merely a husk of who I once was.. but on the inside I've grown in spirit and in truth. Although i no longer meet the requirements of my "religious" peers I know I'm far better off spiritually.
Partly because all of the Items I bragged about in the beginning of this bio, they were nothing more than my outward showing of MY inward vanity.

Church was never ment to be safe. Or comfortable. Or predictable. God isn't any of those things. Church is supposed to arrest our pride. Church is meant to crush our selfishness. Church was created to carry our heartache and comfort our affliction. Church is where we find community, express compassion and engage in mission. But Church without God does none of that...
