  • 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.

I have shared before when any force of nature takes place, I take time to see what is happening in that place. A Tornado hit Eureka Kansas last night for 100 blocks, they where hit in 2016 as well.

Only 2500 people live there and there are over 14 churches. Some will look at this and say tornadoes are random and always happen , not in the Bible I read. Some will look at 14 churches for 2400 people and think that is a town that is about God.

This morning I prayed about this and this is where I was sent.

Luke 9:Luke 9:14 or there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.”

We love a God that not only created numbers but used them from the beginning to the end.

That is the biggest crowd we know of , that Jesus preached to at any one time. 14 Churches for 2500 people shows division. That tornado will bring them together as One. We are called to be One, when we are divided God will bring us together. The question is, do we know how and why He does this?



Romans 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.



It is not totally clear but maybe after a population of 5000 we might need to start another church to read and worship as One. The Apostles went to cities to share same message...When we make anything about us and not about Him we have division. 5000 people should sit and hear the same message Jesus brought …

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.


When Jesus returns we will not run off to our different buildings and groups , we will do this together.

Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

We practice sports , we practice all kinds of things for the world , maybe we should practice this without having to be made to...
