  • 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.

There are 2 references to this ,
1 in the book of Job and the other in Acts ...
Faith + effort , should overcome anything that the devil throws at you ...

We usually cave in before the victory is won , for we try it on our strength ... rather than stopping , going to our knees and praying ... or taking authority over the situation ... Luke 9.1, 10.9 , Mark 11.23-4 , 1 John 5.14-18

sort of like training for a race ...
some times God wants us to stretch a bit , to go the distance ... and while we squirm in the trial ... He waits for us to " tag out " to let go and let Him take over
James 1.1-2; 1 Peter 1.7 ... for a "little while"
