  • 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.

I'll say this much, no one said Christianity was going to be easy.

Let me tell you a story of my very first sign of God.

It was a cold January night about a year and a half ago. My Christian friends had been trying to get me to know God for months and I was beginning to get a little discouraged. So I sat up for over a half an hour staring out my window, and prayed for the very first time in my life. I prayed mostly for a sign that he was there and real. After time went by, I was recieving nothing but silence, so i went to bed.

The next morning I went outside to catch the bus, and I was startled by what I saw. On the driveway was a yellow, dried flower that smelled a sweet sent. I looked all around but I didn't see anymore. I couldn't understand how on earth it got there. It was winter, and there were no flowers to be seen! Then I remembered the prayer I said last night when I asked for a sign. I was dumbstruck. This flower was a sign from God!!

but there's more...

Seeing the bus pull up i had to put the flower down, cause I didn't want to take it to school with me. It was a very windy day, so I figured the flower had blown away from where I had left it. I was in for a surprise when I got home. I got off the bus only to discover the flower in the very same spot where I had left it. God kept it safe for me.

To this day I still have that flower. And whenever I feel weak in my walk with God, I remember how he showed me that sign, the miricle he showed me. That day started my walk with God. I wanted to know everything I could about him, all because of one little flower.
