  • 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.

"For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away." ~Psalm 37:17-20

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." ~Ephesians 6:10-13

"When he fills his belly, God will send His fierce anger on him And will rain it on him while he is eating." ~Job 20:23

Let it rain.

The book of Job is a HUGELY rich study. He was also a dear man of God, and refused to curse God against unbelievable odds.....

Jabez was another dear man of God. He BELIEVED in God against all odds. Strangely enough, he is the only one mentioned by name in his entire family. The rest faded into obscurity. He was also very wise, because He knew Who to go to for help. And because of that God honored his request and granted it quick as you can blink.

Awesome testimony.

Yeah, i can't get it straight about minor and major prophets, but yes there is MUCH to delve into...like Hosea....i'm not familiar with him at all, but the more i read, the more riveting it gets.....

He was a dear man of God to do as God told him, because it would just sound so strange.....also Joseph was a dear dear man of God...can you imagine, especially in that day and time, being told your "betrothed" was already with child.....ok, THAT'S major enough, but that it's not HIS?

The norm would've been to stone Mary. Look at what he did.....

what a precious man of God he was, and sooooo under-appreciated....

I love the poetry parts of the Bible...Psalms is really my rock at the moment...

My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. Psalm 119:28 NIV

i still can't get it straight calling them poetry...it just doesn't click for some reason...but yes, Psalms has been an anchor for me too.....

That's a beautiful verse and it's is sooo descriptive.....oh, maybe that's why they're called poetry books/verses....

David has always been very dear to my heart...he expresses depths that only someone who has suffered through much sorrow and grief could share....

That verse is really almost a prayer....no wonder God called David a man after His own heart and the apple of His eye....

that's precious...
