  • 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.

Bread From Heaven

Q

Quoth

Notice how the Israelites complained a lot? Sometimes, it got on God's nerves (and certainly on Moses'). Nevertheless, in Exodus 16, it talks about how the Israelites were ticked off and hungry, and they whined. What did God do?

He provided for them.

God has blessed me time, and time, and time, and time, and time again. What have I done? I've gorged myself on His "bread" from Heaven. I've taken advantage of His gifts.

Long story short, I'm concerned. There's a part of me that says, "Oh, I don't need to worry, because God tells me not to worry about anything." Nevertheless, I have a large financial need. There is absolutely no way I can meet that need unless God does a miracle, which I know He can do.

I just don't know if this is a time where He "wants me to learn my lesson" or if He's ready to make little pieces of paper with Benjamin Franklin on them fall out of the sky and it's my concern and nail-biting that's keeping Him from it.

Nevertheless, I'm in a bind, and I don't know how it's going to work out. Regardless, I know God will work it out, whether my flesh likes it or not. Have any of you ever had similar experiences? How has God worked in your life with that? How have you learned from it?
