  • 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.

HUGE task for a newly re-born self :D

I was asked on Tuesday to be a guest speaker for the 4, 5, & 6 year olds @ their bible study last night. (So I had one night to prepare!) I am so very new to my walk with God that I felt very inadequate in teaching these inquisitive little hearts a biblical lesson. I prayed so hard from the moment I found out about it that He would speak through me because I could not reach these little ones on my own.

Oh how wonderful God is! Even without pictures and colorful things and entertaining aspects (I didn't have much time to put together my lesson) those children were asking and answering questions and I was engaging their little minds and curiosities. It was so amazing!

Just wanted to share that with everyone. I also wanted to ask, was there ever a task or conflict that God gave you just shortly after asking him into your life that just amped up your love for him even more? What was your experience and how did He help you?

Thats awesome! This reminds me of when I chaired one of my first AA meetings ( a while back before my last relapse) I was just asked spur of the moment and at first said no but a voice told me I should so I said, you know what Ill give it a shot. It was as the LORD spoke through me and I had people coming up afterwards saying they got a lot out of the meeting.
