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.

Running to win!
" LET US THROW OFF EVERYTHING THAT HINDERS AND THE SIN THAT SO EASILY ENTANGLES, AND RUN..." HEBREWS 12:1 (NIV)
Roman athletes stripped down to a simple loin cloth to make sure nothing prevented them from running their fastest. How about you? Do you just want the fun of being in the race, or are you running to win? To succeed at becoming what God intended you to be, you will have to stop doing certain things, even enjoyable things, and begin doing other things that support your goals and help you fulfil your God-ordained purpose.
That will probably mean saying no to well-intentioned people who try to involve you in things that ultimately steal your time but produce no fruit. It will also mean dealing with the sin that so easily entangles... When God says something is wrong, it is wrong! You do not need to discuss, theorize, blame, make excuses or feel sorry for yourself you just need to agree, ask for His forgiveness and get that thing out of your life.
Listen: All athletes practise strict self-control. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize (1Corinthians 9:25 NLT). Who gets the prize? Those who practice self-control. Paul knew he could not win the race without first bringing his body, mind and emotions under the control of Gods Spirit. The same goes for you. You cannot expect somebody else to make you do what is right; you must listen to Gods Spirit for yourself and take action.
Bible-in-a-year reading: JOB 40 - 42 & 1 CORINTHIANS 1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paul's famous use of athletes' training, in 1 Corinthians, was because to live in Corinth was like living in the Olympic village & being all too aware of the sacrifices athletes made for fleeting glory & a wreath that fades
He woulda said today, "Do get a life..
eternal life thru Christ Jesus!"
Did U know that the Greek words translated as eternal life meant unlimited in quality, as well as time?
It wasn't bios - mere physical existence - but zoe - the word for the quality of life..
(& just for fellowship threads!)
I must incorporate this into a classic "wind-up" for the "Challenging Evolution" thread...
God bless!

Hello Loran! Welcome aboard. You will 'earn' blessings as you post, and people will bless you because they like you or like something you've written. If you bless someone, the blessing are deducted from your blessings. By clicking on the heart/cross icon up by the avatar is how you get into someone's account to bless them.
You can also add to someone's reputation the same way. If you 'rep' someone (those little green 'buttons' next to your avatar(picture)) - your reputation doesn't change. You rep someone by clicking on the thumbsup symbol next to the avatar.
So, just to get the ball rolling, I'm sending some blessings your way! Enjoy...
