  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Being human is not easy. One of the most difficult thing is admitting our mistakes.
However, nothing helps us come closer to God than making an admission of failure.
God does not glory in your failures.
He does not relish the fact that you feel badly about mistakes you have made. What God does glory in is the fact that you can be honest. When you are honest you are more likely to express your need and your love for Him.

When you can admit your mistakes, you can admit that you need Him. When you admit your mistakes you are taking wonderful steps toward being His humble servant.
Of course, we do not want to admit our mistakes for we have sinful pride and ego.
However, we all need to put sinful pride and ego aside.
We need to rest our heart in His love.
When we admit our failures and bring joy to His heart, we in turn experience His joy within us.

Dear Doc - once again you have encouraged me! Thank you so much. Over the years I have learned to admit my mistakes to God and it does help so much - and, we have to remember that He already know our mistakes, so it must please Him greatly when we admit them to Him - Hedi

I always love to read the life of David...we can see how he walked with the Lord...how he related to the Lord when he made mistakes.

And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the Lord, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."
