  • 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.

Walk through to-day as well as you can, and God will under take your future.
When you go forward out of today, and to worry about it, you are trespassing and God will put you back over the fence.

When fishing in a stream, I have always found that so long as I kept a short line I could manage my fishing very well. But when I let my line run out, the stream took it down, and there I was at the mercy of every stick that stuck up in the stream and every rock that jutted out from the banks. I lost my fish and tangled my line, and lost my footing, and was head over heels in the water.

Now, most men have cast out their line into life for many, many years, when it should have been but one day long. In consequence, they are not able to manage their tackle at all, but are pulled after it, stumbling first into this hole, and then into that. Slipping up here, and slipping down there, struggling and splashing about in far more distressed fashion than the fish at the other end of the line, and as a general thing, there is no fish there. Haul in your line!

Be Careful for nothing
Be Prayful for everything
Be Thankful for anything
