  • 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.

In His light

Not me

Righteousness is right and not me.

Psalm 36:9 (NASB)
For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.

“In your light we see light”

His light is that which causes growth. His growth is that which we need, a increase of Him in our innermost being. It is His light that gives such growth. We all (those that want to go on in Christ) hear and read message after message on/about/concerning Christ. Some more titillating to human reasonings than others, but if human reasoning is as far as the light goes, in human reasonings the learning will stay. Something deeper is necessary. This is what this scripture speaks to, this deeper seeing. Where we see in God’s light.

All believers that have a degree of growth in Christ have had the experience where they had read a scripture many times and all of a sudden they “see” inwardly what the meaning of that scripture is. This “seeing” causes a joy and growth in them that can not be denied, their countenance changes, they have a deeper joy and a greater light they now can walk in. This is the seeing and understanding that all scripture needs to be seen and understood by, all else is human understanding of the words of scripture.

This being taught inwardly by God all things is that that is necessary. This can only happen to the degree our personal relationship with Christ has grown and being manifested in our lives. It is through this relationship and the depths and strength of this relationship can and does God work and give and put forth the light that we need to grow.

“In His light do we see light”

This is as much as saying;

“it is Only ”.... in His light do we see light”

For without His light lighting our understanding, our understanding remains human and can only go as deep as the mind. It may be a good or bad argument after the flesh but flesh it remains and can go no deeper.

For this maxim remains;

If it’s me it’s sin, if it’s Christ, it’s not.

For if it’s not love, if it’s not righteousness, if it’s not being a peacemaker, it’s wicked, evil and sin.

So unto Him be all things, as we pursue this light wherein we can tell right and wrong, truth from lie, deceit from falsehood. Where we won’t be tossed around by every wind of doctrine we come across. Wherein we can grow up in and unto Him in all things. And know we are pleasing to Him. For growing in Him is what life is all about.

Blessings,

Much love in Christ, Not me
