  • 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.

Fear, Doubt, and worry

According to the Bible.



According to the Bible, we as Believers do not have the right or privilege to fear, doubt, or worry. The very moment that you pick up fear, doubt, or worry is the very same moment that you lay down faith and trust. You can not hold both of these at the same time.



Also as Believers, we don’t have the right or privilege to growl, gripe, complain, or murmur. God gave us an example of this with the children of Israel. After God delivered them out of captivity in Egypt, they began to growl, gripe, complain, and murmur; this lead to a point where the spies came back with the horrible complaints of the people who lived in the promise land. (There are giants in the land) As an example for us, God gave the children of Israel a desert which also contained their own grave.



Some Believers think that they are “called” to this ministry of growling, griping, complaining, and murmuring. They give vent to this to their spouses, president, nation, boss, job, church, or pastor. This ought not to be. If they continue in this, there lot in life will be a desert that might also contain a grave.



If you know of a believer like this, then the path of freedom is to lay fear, doubt, worry, growling, griping, complaining, and murmuring on the altar and walk away leaving it there with Jesus. Don’t go back to visit it or to pick it up again.

Amen! :thumbsup: And if there is a problem that is causing you to complain or worry, then it is best to address the problem and try to resolve it. Complaining and worrying never solves anything but take the focus off of God. When grumbling festers, it becomes destructive and negative to relationships. Not only do relationships suffer, but our walk with God does too. So, when there are issues that need to be addressed, go and address them so peace of mind can be reached again. God bless all. :angel:
