  • 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.

Childlike Faith is the wonder and awe at what Christ did for us. It is a synergy of trust, hope, and unpretentiousness that knows the Lord loves us and will lead us. Because of our trust in the Lord, we are more able to take comfort in Him. Childlike faith sees the world as exciting and adventurous, and worth pursuing with our faith so opportunities to please God override our complacency and the attitude of "been there, done that," even though we may have. It is a part of us that we should never lose. It enables us to maintain our humbleness and enthusiasm

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven
Matthew 18:2-4King James Version (KJV)

Dear strwy. Childlike Faith, you are so right, show our Heavenly Father that we Love Him with all our beings, and love our neighbour as we love ourselves.
In Luke 10: 25-28: Jesus is asked: " Master, what must I do to inherit Eternal
Life?" Jesus tells us: " In Matthew 22: 35-40:we are told:" The first and great Commandment is: Love God with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our minds. The second is like it: love our neighbour as we love ourselves." In verse 40, we are told: " On these two Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." God is Love, and God wants loving sons and daughters. Love is a Christian`s weapon, with love we can overcome all enmity and wrong behaviour. Love is also very catching, and love covers a multitude of sins.
In Matthew 7: 7-10: we are told: " ask and you shall receive," we ask God for Love and Joy, then we thank God, and share all love and joy with our neighbour: all we know and all we meet, friends and not friends. Go will see our loving efforts, and God will approve and bless us. Satan and his followers will run away from all Love and Joy. The Holy Spirit will help and guide us, and
Jesus our Saviour will lead us all the way: JESUS IS THE WAY.
The Bible tells us: " Repent and be Born Again," give up our selfish wishes and wants, and start loving and caring: Loving God and treating our neighbour as we would love to be treated. We keep asking for Love and Joy, then thank God and share it all with our neighbour. We might stumble and forget at times,
but then we ask God to forgive us, and carry on Loving and Caring. We will find
that people will treat us as we treat people, and soon we will be sign-posts to
God. This imperfect world does need selfless men and women: Childlike Faith, plus loving and the occasional helping hand. I say this with love, strwy.
Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.
