  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Feelings: he was like my spiritual father
Memories: My mom transcribed some of his tapes in the summer of 1974. I was a teenager. At first I SLAMMED! my bedroom door. Then I left the door slightly ajar. Then I came out and ate breakfast while she listened. Finally, I told her I would shut the tape off when it was through (she left for work). I came to the Lord November 1974 through a Nicki Cruz crusade. I think the Lord used Derek Prince to till the soil of my heart -- and later helped me grow.
Favorite quote: "The Cross of Christ is the only place where all the nations of the world can meet and be reconciled and share in the fullness of God's blessing." Derek Prince.

Hi Nagwalk,
I just wanted to say that I understand your fear. Sometimes we don't understand things or are uncomfortable and we need to respect that.

To All,
I found his teaching on positive confession of scripture very uplifting as I came from a home where the negative about self and others was highly emphasized. The Lord used him to help me to learn to "lift up my eyes until the hills" and to begin to understand faith, to understand scriptures and to mature in my Christian walk.
In fact, his logical, carefully thought out responses appealed greatly to my logical mind.
He walked in faith but it was not a prosperity gospel.
I thank GOD for his influence on my life!
