  • 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.

Isn't it great to know!

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Isn't it great to know that a Merciful, Loving, and Faithful God sits on the Throne. Isn't it great to know our "friends" do not sit there. Of course, they put themselves there and they turn from us and deny us when we do not live up to their expectations.

Isn't it great to know that He does not turn away from us or deny us, but holds us safe in His arms!

Isn't it great to know He has provided us with salvation and assurance of salvation. Isn't it great to know He has given us Jesus, who is all we ever need!
 
Aboslutely wonderful Gerry. AMEN.

Dear Lord, shine brightly through us. Use us to illuminate the darkness around us. Let those walking in the darkness, want the light we have, the true Light, Jesus Christ. Give us the wisdom and courage to shine brightly in all that we do. I pray this to bring You glory and honor, in Jesus' name, AMEN.

thanks for sharing. We all need to reminded from time to time that He is faithful to His promises. I have to always tell myself that He is willing to be my Father but it is twofold. I have to always try to remember that He expects certain things from me to. It's give and take. Whenever I am questioning why on life's ups and down's I also ask, what have i done for Him lately? He's willing to show me the way, but I have to also be willing to follow Him. It is great that I serve God and without a doubt He loves me.
