  • 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.

Hi, would like you to pray for my brother john. Its a long story but i'll try to make it simple. My brother has been living in England for about a year. He has to leave england every 6 months to renew his visa. well he messed it up, he needed to leave on 16th of janurary. He is fly back here (U.S, connecticut) on saturday.

so here are the prayer needs:

1. that he arrives safely.

2. That this visa situation can be worked out.

3. Most Importantly, please pray that he would come to know the Lord.

This is a tough situation, because if he can't go back to england, he has no where to stay. He can't really stay with me (yet another long story) and he can't stay with my dad.

This will be a trying time for me, my brother and my wife ( he will be staying with us for four days, before he heads back to england). I love my brother very much, but he can drive me crazy sometimes, please pray that i will have paintients with him.

 

Thank You,

Ed

:cry:

 

My brother was not allowed back into England he is flying back as I type. I know he will be in bad emotional shape when he gets back ( he has made suicide attempts in the past, so i worry about him). he can only stay with us for a week, I am not sure where he is going to go after that. its a tough situation. Still, in my heart I feel the Lord has a part to play in all this, that He has a great purpose in all this.

SO I would ask that you would to continue to pray for my brother.

also pray for me and my wife, that the lord would grant us his compassion and wisdom during all this.

 

Thank You,

Ed
