  • 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

InspirationalQuote.jpg


It's been said that INTJs are very strategic, and treat life like a game of chess. There's a lot of truth to that.

My own personal philosophy is that life is flux - it's constantly changing, and the game board is always being rearranged. Even that which is physical degrades slowly over time. Nothing in this world lasts forever, and the connections we make fluctuate. The signature graphic I made awhile back is a visualization of this.

The only thing static / stable is God Himself. An excellent picture of this is recorded in the gospels when Jesus is seen walking on water in the midst of a storm. He was completely unphased and unmoved by the shifting dynamic taking place around and under Him. He is our immovable rock. This is why we are commanded multiple times to stay fixated on Him during our Christian journey.

As the "game" of life plays out, and as the board changes, it pays to learn to embrace change and failure, and just go with it. Execute your moves with careful, calculated precision, and don't get frustrated with fluctuation. Trust God's plan, and alter your strategy if necessary, but not yourself.

In the materialistic world we live in, this probably won't be a popular quote, and I guess some might even consider it totally uninspiring.


The richest man is not he who has the most, but he who needs the least.
