  • 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.

Isaac mean laughter and he was the promised son and so a type of Christ. Many people don't know that the Lord has a sense on humor. Another thing about the Lord is that He often speaks in parables and dark saying. We read that in the Psalms and we see that in the Bible, so it should be expected in our personal conversations with Him, but it still catches me off guard sometimes.

The other night I was in bed and trying to get back to sleep. I had crashed out in front of the TV after I had gotten off work. So about midnight I was up and trying to get back to sleep in my bed. I was having trouble so I asked the Lord to tell me something. I didn't want something too serious but some light humor, perhaps something a bit corny that might get me to sleep. Even though I hear from Him about a dozen times a day, I still find it amazing that I can ask Him and so often that small voice comes on just like He was always right there just waiting for me to turn to Him. Here is what He told me:

"There were two crows who flew down upon an ear of corn. One crow poked his nose into the ear of corn and pulled out a tasty morsel. Then other crows poked his nose into the ear of corn and got himself a tasty morsel. Then the first crows got a tasty morsel and pulled the ear of corn closer to himself. Then the other crow did the same.

They were each determined to get all the tasty morsels off that ear of corn, but neither one thought about getting and ear for themselves"

The thing about getting something corny from the Lord, it is best if you get it by find and ear yourself!

Jesus and Moses were playing golf. Jesus hit a powerful tee shot that landed in a large tree. A squirrel dislodged the ball and it fell to the ground. A woodchuck brushed the ball onto the green with it's tail, then a rabbit appeared and pushed the ball into the cup.

Whereupon Moses said to Jesus, "Are you going to play golf or screw around?"

So where did that come from?

Yeah - there is a point in the corny parable. The point is that we don't get ears to hear. The Lord still teaches in parables. Of course not Him only, but if we know Him we do so be getting ears to hear Him. that might seem corny - actually hearing the Lord personally - but it is what we need to do. :)

Three blind men were walking down the road and talking to each other as they went. As they were walking and talking a Lion grabbed one. The others didn’t notice. They just thought he had decided to stop talking, so they just kept on walking and talking. A little further down the road a snake grabbed the other one. The last one kept on walking and talking because he just thought the others had just decided to stop talking. As he kept on walking and talking the road turned because it came next a cliff over the sea. The man didn't notice because he was just walking and talking and walked right off the cliff and fell into the sea.


When the Lion of Judea, and the Serpent are grabbing people all around you, are you just going to keep on walking and talking?
