  • 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.

( John 4:23) True worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth."
In many Christian circles today, the priority of worship has been neglected. The church has two basic functions; first to worship, second to witness.
It is to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ, before it declares to others "the praise of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:5-9) Unfortunately; worship for many means a few hymns and prayers arranged in some pattern. True worshipers worship the Father in Spirit and truth. It is not what we say or sing; it is how we say and sing it. It must be from the heart. True worship should have communication between Spirit and spirit, so that the Father is worshipped in spirit as well as truth. Not spirit alone, for that could be purely emotional; not truth alone for that could be purely intellectual.
"But all my inmost being should praise his holy name." (Psalm 103:1) :amen:
