  • 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 Kevin James has shared that he fasted and prayed for his daughter’s health for 40 days, and during that time he saw God give a powerful answer to his prayers. James spoke about the experience in a recent podcast interview with fellow actor Siobhan Fallon Hogan.

“It was a commitment I made to my daughter. My daughter was having a tough time,” James said. “She’s on the spectrum and she was struggling and she was getting these tics, and we didn’t know what to do at the time, my wife and I. So we were like, ‘We just got to pray and fast.’”

“And, you know, that was one of the things that I wasn’t doing,” James said. “And I still—look at me now—I overeat. I fill a void all the time with all my problems. I’m eating them all the time.”

“And it was one of those moments,” he said, “where I said, ‘I’m just going to start fasting for this because there’s nothing else I can do and, please help, God.’”

The RIGHT way to fast and pray! Most people think if you fast, its like some magical recipie that God is going to grant your request or listen to you more but people dont realize its about posture. Youre fasting because youre giving up something as youre grieved. Its that humility that God appreciates and wants. And Praise God for answering his prayers!
