  • 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.

Moody Bible Institute has announced that George Sweeting, who served the institution for nearly 30 years between his time as president and later as chancellor, died Tuesday at the age of 99. He was “at heart an evangelist and soul winner,” the institute said.

“An indelible mark has been placed on this world as well as Moody through the incredible life and ministry of George Sweeting,” said Moody Bible Institute President Mark Jobe in a statement shared with The Christian Post.

“His legacy is marked by a deep love for his family, the Church, and the transformative power of the Gospel,” Jobe added. “While we mourn with his family and those whose lives were touched by him, we echo the Apostle Paul’s words in 1 Thessalonians 4that we do so with hope, knowing he is in the presence of the Lord and we will be reunited with him one day.”
