  • 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.

A ministry of one

A gift from the Lord this morning, for all of us.

Sitting here and saw a dove land and sit on the railing. Started recording. The dove dropped down and started eating. Then a group of sparrows all landed on the railing at once, saw the dove and dropped down and joined in. I suddenly had the thought, hey, its like Jesus has drawn in His disciples for a meal. Then a cardinal lands on the rail, and then drops down to join in.

Jesus and His disciples are drawing them in!

We have a ministry of one, brothers and sisters in Christ. The next one. Let's keep praying for God to keep bringing them to us, and He will!

To the genuine seeker. When you look at yourself maybe you see a raven, who can't approach a Holy God.

He sees a cardinal.

Come, child, come as you are, to His Son!

Matthew 3:16-17 NIV

"As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Matthew 17:5 NIV

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!"
