  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The title of this article comes from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. The full quote is as follows:

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)
Isaiah conveyed this message of God to his people, 2,700 years ago; and it’s as relevant today as anytime in the history of Christianity. Our culture is under attack from forces that are attempting to destroy our Judeo-Christian culture, and they are doing so under the cover of darkness and confusion. These forces include powers and principalities aiding and abetting those who have rejected God and his eternal truth.

partial list of actions prevalent in our society today that are relevant to this passage of Isaiah are (1) abortion, which is tantamount to the killing of an innocent and helpless preborn life; (2) trans-sexual rights and activities, most especially those aimed at young children; this while parents are kept in the dark concerning their efforts at promoting gender confusion; (3) the human trafficking of women and children into the sex trade which is tolerated by and in some cases fostered by those in powerful positions within our society; (4) the fentanyl epidemic which currently claims the lives of nearly 100,000 Americans each year, the equivalent of two Vietnam war deaths every year; (5) inflation that is mislabeled as economic growth, increasing the real inflation rate which further impoverishes the lower and middle classes; (6) the perverse treatment of citizens frequently to the benefit of illegal migrants; (7) and, the indoctrination of philosophies in our school systems, most especially in higher education, whose aim is to divide us and to ultimately destroy our Judeo-Chistian culture.
