• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Walking in The Spirit ...

From those who are doing it well ...
with some consistency ...
I would like to hear from you, things you have learned on how to do it well.
Stay in close fellowship with the Lord, praying, praising, being thankful, reading his word, being sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit and not indulging the flesh.

Two things to avoid: legalism (trying to live by rules, regulations and principles, rather than by loving, trusting relationship with the Lord); and licence (allowing yourself things that are sinful, dubious, or go against your conscience; in fact, even apparently harmless pursuits can be deadening, if not led by the Lord).

@David1701

Thanks, David.
And I especially appreciate these cautions:
