  • 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.

More than a conqueror...

Rom. 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

What does it mean to be more than a conqueror?

Can you imagine a boxing match, say the world heavy weight title... and you have someone like Mike Tyson in the final... the prize is $10 million...

These two prize fighters slug it out, round after round until in the fifteenth round Tyson wins...

He sits in the dressing room, covered in cuts and bruises and thinks about his victory, he has swollen eyes, cauliflower ears, maybe a broken nose...

he gets in his car and drives home, he rings the doorbell and his wife comes to the door, she is a small slip of a woman, tiny in comparrison, he kisses her on the cheek an hands her the cheque for $10 million...

She got all the benefits without any of the fight, you see he was a conqueror but she was more than a conqueror, she got all the benefits of the battle but she never had to put on a glove...

So too in Christ, Jesus one day went into the battle on our behalf, he was bruised and beaten beyond recognition but He won the victory, he became a conqueror, and then he came to my house and to your house and offered that victory to you and me...

We have become more than conquerors because of his great love for us, we never had to lift a glove or show up for the battle but we get to enjoy all the benefits...

Praise His Mighty name... Jesus is Lord...
