  • 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.

I have not been posting here much, mostly because I am unsure which thread to frequent the most. I am still getting used to the variety that this board has to offer as I come from a board that at the most only has about fifteen individual forum groups and no where as many members on the boards.

Well, there is a reason why I am posting today. As of late the Lord has allowed me to witness several individuals come to know the Lord, some over the internet, and others in my personal and business life.

One individual that the Lord has blessed me with is Justin. I met him on the way home from work one night near a dark allyway behind a local convenience store. He was smoking, and simply wandering about in the parking lot when we met up. He is the one who initiated the conversation, and to be honest I wanted to avoid the kid afraid for my own safety. I have been jumped before by individuals who were not quite as tough looking as this kid. One thing led to another and I was able to share the gospel with him, and that night he recieved the Lord as his savior. I am now discipling him in the Lord at my church when he is able to make it.

Two other individuals that the Lord saved through the use of me are my two supervisors, Doug and Andrew. I would ask that you would pray for Doug, I am sure that his conversion was real, but he is finding it difficult to get out of his daily routine to find time to grow in Christ. I would ask that you would pray for his sanctification. Also pray for Andrew who recieved the Lord last night (2-17-05) when he gave me a ride home to my dorms.

I would ask that no one "praise" me for the work that has been done here, I am merely a tool that was pulled out of the tool-box, much like a wrench would be used to loosen a bolt I am unable to do anything until the Lord uses me. It is to God that the glory and honor is due.
