  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

i'm gonig to make this short and very simple:

sometimes in our walk with the Lord, or at least with me i tend to forget that i'm a sinner ONLY saved by his unbelievable grace. i have recently been hit hard in the head with that fact. the Lord has painfully humbled me into the ground. we all make mistakes...we all screw up. we are freakin human! getting upset about someone's sin is not wrong, but it's wrong when you let it effect you. man, yall...please somehow, engrave that into your head and heart before the Lord throws you to the ground over it. i'm definitely paying for it now.

Just like it says. Humble yourselves or you will be humbled.
Personally if I'm going to end up that way in the end no matter what... I'd rather do it myself and stay that way rather than climbing to the top of the tree just to be taken off and thrown on my face in the ground. It hurts! But if you sit at the lesser seat at the table, the Lord may come to you and say, come sit in the seat of honor.
It's a concept to be recconed with every day. I just got a pretty nice compliment via PM and had to remind myself that it is Jesus in me and not myself that makes possible the things worthy of praise.

Too late???

Nope - right on time, God's time. It's too late when we aren't given the opportunity to learn. Be filled with His joy because remember God chastises those whom He loves!!! :clap:
