  • 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 can't say I have the most powerful testimony, but I feel compelled to share it anyway. It definately shows the power of the Holy Spirit.

I grew up Christian to some extent, but after I was a teenager, I battled with it. I would be a lukewarm christian for a little while, then once people found out about it I didn't want anything to do with it. When I was 18 I had a few months of following Jesus, but I still had a lot of issues with the bible, and with Christianity, I didn't understand a lot of things, and a lot of things didn't add up. After that I fell off track. I drank, cursed, blasphemed, I was an anti-christ. I went out of my way to go against God. I thought I was happy, but one morning I woke up and all I could think about was Jesus. It KILLED me to think how I had turned my back on God so much, and how I had broken his heart. Everything I didn't understand before, everything I had issues with before, everything that didn't make sense before....somehow all of it made sense. I understood everything. Nothing was a mystery anymore....it was like God gave me the knowledge and understanding about him that I lacked. After that, all I wanted to do was praise him, and live for him. I gave my life to him, and there is no way the Devil can bring me down again. It's like my whole life, even when I was christian, I was blind. Somehow in that one random morning....God gave me sight. I don't understand how it all made sense in that moment, and still does, except that God works in mysterious ways, and ALL things are possible through him. The Holy Spirit can fill your soul at ANY moment, any time God sees fit. Thanks for listening ya'll. :)
God Bless
