  • 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.

An estimated 2 million students across the United States are expected to participate in Bring Your Bible to School Day, marking the long-running annual effort to encourage both students and adults to share scripture with those around them.

Focus on the Family’s annual Bring Your Bible to School Day is taking place on Thursday. Statistics compiled by the socially conservative advocacy organization show that nearly 1.3 million people representing over 70,000 schools participated in Bring Your Bible to School Day last year. More than 10,000 churches were involved.

In an interview with The Christian Post, Focus on the Family's Parenting and Youth Program Manager Emerson Collins projects even larger participation rates this year.
