  • 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.

2 Peter 1:2-4 "Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and or Jesus Christ our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His glory and virtue, by which have been given to us by His exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may become partakers of His divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lusts."

And verses 5 through 7 explain the road to maturity -- based upon these promises!
Our faith is based upon these promises
Our goodness is motivated by these promises
Our divine guidance is based upon these promises
Our putting to death the old nature and abiding in the new nature is based upon these promises
Our investing in heaven is motivated by the promises of heavenly reward.
Our godliness is based upon these promises
Our koinonia is motivated by these promises of reward
Our very agape, the ultimate objective of the Christian walk, is motivated by these promises


I gauge a Christian's strength by how many promises are you using? A three promise Christian might not make it. A ten promise Christian will have a rough road. A twenty promise Christian will abound and be fruitful in the Lord. How many have you memorized?
