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.
Love one another

Rom 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Rom 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
Rom 8:39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NIV)
In all things the Word of God says we are more than conquerors, thats it, not will be or could be, but that we are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us, and loves us today. So no matter what we are feeling right now, Gods Word remains true, absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of God. He loves us with a passion. His love abounds for us, so much so we are referred to as the bride of Christ. (Revelatoion22:17)
So all the principalities and powers of the air, no matter what comes against us, its already conquered for our bridegroom, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ took a conquering leap upon Mount Calvary and uttered the words it is finished and the victory was won, hallelujah!

Psalm 150:4-6-NLT . . .
Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
Praise Him with a clash of cymbals;
Praise Him with loud clanging cymbals.
Let everything that lives Sing Praises to the LORD!
Praise the LORD!!!

ANDTHIS IS LOVE
Isa 53:7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
Act 8:32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:
"He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
Many of us have dogs and cats as household pets. Imagine if you will how they would react if they were to be led like a lamb to the slaughter. In the Old Testament lambs were sacrificed. Lambs and sheep are innocent as far as understanding danger is concerned, an ex-farmer told me. Yet they are indeed born to die.
The Lamb of God, our Saviour and Lord was born to die also, yet He knew exactly what He was doing as he was led as a lamb to the slaughter. He was innocent of all sin, so in that sense He had a lamb like innocence. Yet here we have the God Man, the Son of God, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world going with full knowledge, protesting in full obedience to the Father to be beaten, scourged and wounded without hung on the cross of Calvary for us. See Joh 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
What grace, what mercy that He who is and was God should come into this world, born to die, as the lamb of God paying the price for our sins once and for all.

Love should be the Unifying Force and the Identifying Mark
of the Christian community. Love is the Key to Walking in
the Light, because we cannot grow Spiritually while we
hate others. Our Growing Relationship with GOD will
Result in Growing Relationships with Others.

He alone is worhy!
WORTHY, WORTHY ARE YOU BELOVED
Worthy, worthy are you beloved, oh Son of the living God,
We come, singing praises unto you in one accord,
And now we your bride are coming out of the wilderness,
As we draw closer smelling your sweet fragrant essence.
We will keep our helmets of salvation firmly on our heads,
To keep us from swallowing Satans lies and concentrate on you instead ,
This world has nothing to offer us, only through you we have eternal life,
And you have called us right into your chambers as your precious wife.
So now we are coming up higher to be where you are,
No longer wanting to glimpse upon you from afar,
And we lift our prayers and praises upwards to your throne,
For we are so thankful and joyous to know you call us your own.
Your sweet embrace is so beautiful to us our dear bridegroom,
And we thank that you are preparing mansions with many rooms,
For you have made us beautiful out of ashes, making us fit for a King,
And eternally we will come with praises honour and glory singing.
And we yearn to spend time with you like Mary seated at your feet,
For the time we have talking with you is so precious and sweet,
And you pour love, grace and mercy constantly upon us your bride,
So we come longing for that day when eternally we will be by your side.
But for now we gaze up to your throne- room our beloved King,
Drawing closer and closer your praises forever we will sing,
And we are seeking like Moses to see you face to face,
For you gave your life for us and saved us by your grace.
You are seated at the Fathers right hand, preparing a place for your wife,
For you through your grace and mercy given us who are undeserving eternal life,
And you say in your Word that you are ravished by one glimpse from our eyes,
And that each and every one of us will be a special jewel to you in paradise.
You our Lord and Saviour are the object of our love you see,
And we long to know you better, on this at least your people will agree,
For it is you who paid the price for our sins and set us free,
Now you will take us near, far and wide a witness for you to be.
For there are people out there who you desire as part of your bride,
And you have given us a commission from which we cannot hide,
To take the good news of salvation to the hurting and the lost,
We long for your return but you are tarrying for a purpose.
So for now we seek to come closer, coming right into your throne room,
For we long to dwell in your presence our precious, sweet bridegroom,
And we come thirsty and hungry with deep longing for you,
Standing amazed in wonder that you are longing for us too.
