  • 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.

Blessings for Obedience

Tell me this isn't good news. Praise God! God wants to bless us, but we need to obey Him, just take note of the 'if's. And then take note of the 'wills' to me they sound like promises from God, they aren't maybes, or possibly, they are 'will', means that these things are definitely going to happen. Allelujah! Praise the Lord.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14

1 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands that I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.

2. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.

3You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

4. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock - the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

7 the Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

8The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land He is giving you.

9The Lord will establish you as his holy People, as He promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.

10Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you.

11The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity - in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground - in the land He swore to your forefathers to give you.

12The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of His bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

13 The Lord will make you head not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will be always be at the top, never at the bottom.

14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
