• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 John 1:3: "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ."

Truly our purpose in this forum should be to have that deeper fellowship with our God, and a closer walk with our Saviour. When we do that, we will be better able to go out and to declare those things we have seen and heard and learned to those who are lost and without hope: That we may lead them to a saving knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, in order to bring them to have fellowship with us.

I made the above remarks in an earlier thread, but I mention them again because I feel so stongly that we Christians have little time to get the work done we have been given to do. And today, perhaps, we need this deeper fellowship more than we ever have before. We need the strength it provides to get the Gospel to God's elect, and fulfill the Great Commission so we can all go Home and celebrate the victory.

Seen this thread from way back in 2003; but I think the same thing could be said now; " That we may lead them to a saving knowledge of our Lord and Savoir, in order to bring them to have fellowship with us." Looking around CF, I wonder if we are; especially the debate forums. I hope we are. May Jesus Christ bless this forum.
