• 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.

whatever things are noble,
whatever things are just,
whatever things are pure,
whatever things are lovely,
whatever things are of a good report.
If there is any virtue and if anything praiseworthy;
meditate on these things.

For your obedience has become known to all.
Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise
in what is good, and simple concerning evil.

In response to the op's scripture and title with the emphasis on meditating on these things: it points out that just following evil thoughts is wrong. I remember a preacher that would have us follow along with the worst of the worst just to get a good crowd at the altar but it didn't apply to the vast majority of his listeners. That I thought was another form of evil thought being followed after. Very subtle but it was imo.
