  • 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.

Boundaries

Exodus 20:1-3 :bow:

And God spoke all these words, saying: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.

Some people complain that the Bible is nothing but a book of rules and regulations. In reality, the rules God gives are what really allows for freedom. The rules aren't really rules at all. They're boundaries. These Ten Commandments provide very important boundaries that form the basis for a safe society. A boundary is a line drawn between what is yours and what is your neighbor's. When God sets boundaries, he is doing so for our own good. God uses boundaries so that Christians can be safe and happy with one another. Boundaries promote love, define what is our responsibility and what is not, and protect our freedom.

Boundaries not only help Christians understand their relationship with God, but they also define our relationship with God, but they also define our relationship and responsibilities to one another. They prevent dangerous habits and lifestyles.

How do we set good boundaries?

We need to read God's Word. From His Word we can discover where we should draw our personal boundary lines in all areas of our lives. When we have those lines in place and stand firm within them, then we are truly free....

Are You Truly Free?

God Bless You
