  • 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.

Remembering is an essential aspect of our faith and fellowship. God was constantly reminding the ancient Israelites to remember. Remember the Lord's deeds. Remember the Lord redeemed you. Remember the covenant. Remember and don't forget.

Our Lord told his disciples to remember his words. They were promised that the Holy Spirit would come and remind them. They were told to share the bread and cup in remembrance of him. The resurrection angels instructed them, "Remember what he told you while he was with you in Galilee."

How does remembering function in our deeper fellowship with God and one another? How do we maintain our remembrance? Do we just remember what has been passed down, or also God's deeds in our own lives? Any thoughts or experiences you would like to share on this general topic are welcome.

The words we speak are to be from the heavenly Father, even when or especially when /if/ we are dragged in front of judges....

Jesus says it is not our own words we speak then, but the Father speaking through us.

He also says the Father's Spirit will bring to remembrance all that is needed, and He will teach us/ reveal to us (little children) everything concerning salvation in this life and salvation for the life to come.

We are instructed and blessed and delight in His Word "mediate on His TORAH day and night" ....
