  • 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.

Actor Tim Allen said he has struggled for over 60 years to forgive the drunk driver who killed his father, only now finding the will to do so after hearing Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, say she forgave the young man charged with murdering her husband.

Allen, who is best known for playing Tim "The Toolman" Taylor on the sitcom “Home Improvement,” reflected on Erika’s speech during the Sunday memorial service for her husband, where she revealed that she forgave Tyler Robinson, the man charged with killing her husband.

“When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: ‘That man … that young man … I forgive him.’ That moment deeply affected me,” the 72-year-old actor wrote in a Thursday X post. “I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: ‘I forgive the man who killed my father.’”

“Peace be with you all,” Allen stated.

Her forgiving the murderer was an incredible event to watch. That is what Jesus called us to do. I'm sure it has also affected many others to do the same.

Great story. Praise God.
