• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Many people talk about "social justice" as if it's separate from Christian faith, or even opposed to it. And yet the Gospels constantly show Jesus standing up for the oppressed, calling out hypocrisy, etc. In fact, if Jesus were alive today, I wonder if His ministry would be labeled under the "social justice" branch?

I recently made a short video exploring what all this means for us today, and especially looking at the concept of Judgment, and how it relates to justice:

Do you think modern Christianity has lost touch with Jesus' idea of justice? Love to hear your thoughts!

There is no social justice, racial justice, economic justice, etc.

There is only justice; i.e., giving everyone his due, what he has earned. . .and it applies everywhere.

There is love and kindness for all, and compassion, provision, etc. for those in need.

There are many people who call themselves Christians that have no idea how to love as Jesus called his followers to love.

We are to love others as Jesus loved us. . .in truth and in deed.
