  • 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.

Hey, this came to me in a dream last night! Things have come to me in a dream several times now! My dream was this- the wise man stores up treasure for himself in heaven, while the foolish man stores up treasure for himself on the earth. Why is storing up treasure for yourself on the earth foolish? I believe it is because the scripture says there is going to come a day when nothing that happened on this earth will even be remembered anymore! This is the nature of wisdom! I think there is more to this that has not come yet, if it comes I will let you know!

Something small that came to me- the bible says that suffering is vanity. Why is suffering vanity? I believe the answer is that there will come a day when suffering is no more! Suffering and this present world and the way it is will only be here a short time and then it will end for eternity (in heaven)!

Hey, I have been pondering something- why does God use people? There is an answer, A good reason! I have been seeking God for the answer! If it does come I think it will be mind-blowing! I may have the answer. God has been using people from the very beginning! God uses people because He put mankind in charge of the earth, He gave mankind dominion over the earth, it is man's responsibility that the will of God is done on the earth. God does nothing on the earth without man's invitation, prayer. The earth belongs to God, but God has given man stewardship over the earth until Christ returns! There is a scripture- "Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"-Luke 18:8 The bible says it is impossible to please God without faith. So this scripture means "will God be pleased with what man has done with His creation when He returns"? The Master of the house is away, on a journey, but He is coming back! He is going to repay his stewards what is due to each one for what they did with His property when He was gone!

Did you read Matthew 6:19-21 recently? Maybe your dream came from that. It also has the answers for why.

19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Mt 6:19–21)​
