  • 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

How is it easy? He keeps saying it's the devil and it's hard for him because he doesn't notice that he's doing it.

James 1: 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

The devil can't tempt him with something he doesn't want. I am not tempted by kale. I am tempted by chocolate chip cookies. His issue is his own sinful desire to lust after these women, and when he entertains the notion it progresses to staring, fantasizing, etc.


He needs to dismiss it at the first notion and move on. But more than that he needs to realize that this is a weakness of his sinful nature and pray that he would have the Spirit live in him and work out the fruit of the Spirit.
