  • 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.

Heavenly Father,

The death of Charlie Kirk weighs heavily on my spirit tonight.

The reactions from your people and others show how viciously opposed we remain to putting You in the fore of all things.

Lord, I know You said these things would happen and You experienced them Yourself. Politics and the division of people were a driving force of evil even in the time You were crucified.

James 1:2-4 — New Living Translation

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

We are slow to learn, God. We need You. Please keep us focused on what is important to You. Please help us to remember that we, as Christians, represent Your will on Earth.

We are not here to be heard, but we are here to assist those who are willing, to listen to Your word. We are here to support our brethren so they do not fall to the temptations of an evil world and derail us from our purpose which You gave to us .

Jesus, in our sorrow, please deliver us through Your spirit so that we are not lost in anger, confusion, chaos, revenge and deliver us from the evil of the world by allowing our hearts to focus on You and Your will. Let us remember why we are here and honor You in our thoughts and behaviors so that, through Your glorification, we are redeemed.

In your heavenly name I pray, Amen.
