  • 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.

During a sermon on Sunday (Nov. 23), former New York Mets star Darryl Strawberry thanked President Trump for pardoning his crimes and thanked God for forgiving his sins. Strawberry, an eight-time All-Star who has overcome legal and substance-abuse problems, preached for 45 minutes at Sheridan Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The former outfielder, now 63, referenced the presidential pardon he received on Nov. 6. “God just completely set me free when he gave me a pardon from President Donald J. Trump,” Strawberry told congregants. “Other presidents had opportunities, but they didn’t do it.”

In 1995, Strawberry pleaded guilty to tax evasion, and in 1999, he pleaded no contest to cocaine possession and solicitation of a prostitute. After numerous parole violations, he served 11 months in a Florida prison from 2002 to 2003. Since then, Strawberry has recovered from addiction and traveled extensively to talk about his Christian faith.
