  • 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.

Message hit my heart.

Every one of us had experience of Fortune Cookie.
Today, it has never been so....amazing.
I know its ridiculous and how it can be so inaccurate..but here is my testimony today.
Last night, I was scared that my view point of issues such as gay marriage (I do not oppose gay marriage..nor favour), universal health care, elimination of gun in the society, and etc..
I was scared and so insecured of my view..
I prayed for it...and asked Lord for guidance and light to my path.
Today, I opened my fortune cookie, forgetting what i've prayed for.
And message have spoken, " You are accurate in your thinking and have the ability to convince others of your view point"
I've never saw such message corresponding with my prayer.
What are the odds of this?

I don't think fortune cookies can actually tell the future, I think they are silly, but I do believe that God sends us messages in odd ways sometimes.

I have the last fortune I opened pinned up on a bulletin board next to my computer. I was struggling with the fact that I don't have control over things and I have to give it up to God, and I got this fortune:
"If it is meant to be, who are you to change that? It's time to believe it."
That was something I needed to hear.


and, just for kicks... on the back where has the little "learn chinese" part, it says:
"yao jeh may - Have sisters"
what on earth??? hahahahaha! lost in translation!
