  • 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.

Let 'er rip!

Testimony: recently while I was at my home church’s kid's camp as a counselor. GOD used me to touch the lives of the guys that I was a counselor to tremendously, but sad to say I came very close to slacking off and resting on what had been done earlier, you see we got to the camp on Monday afternoon and by Wednesday night at chapel GOD was moving so amazing that it is seriously beyond words...there was still kids there at 11:15 PM crying out to GOD...they had been dismissed to the evening activity at 9:00 and almost forty kids and counselors still stayed 'till almost midnight. What struck me though was that most of the dudes in my cabin seemed little affected, the next day I was bone tired (somebody wise once said that preaching for two hours is about the same strain as working an eight to five shift) Of course I wasn't preaching but praying and seeking GOD but anyway I was still unbelievably tired. But what weighed on me that whole Thursday is that I wanted my cabin to experience GOD because I know well what happens when GOD gets a hold on someone and breathes His Life into them...they can never be the same, just ask Paul. Despite the burden I felt for the guys I was counseling because of weariness by mid-afternoon or so I had subconsciously decided to slack off a bit, well GOD dealt with me about that one and pushed into His Word during the day and I decided that no matter how tired I was I was not going to hold back anything, like they said on one of my favorite movies Facing The Giants “leave everything on the field” that was my determination. Well GOD is good and that night not one of the guys in my cabin left that night unchanged.

The point of the story is this. It's not like I did...or could do anything that night to change anything or anybody but its like David facing Goliath...he couldn’t take out the whole Philistine army but he could grab his stuff and let the rock fly at Goliath's head and leave the actual work up to GOD.
So let the devil have a piece of the GOD that is inside of you.
