  • 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.

Thank God that through our Savior and Lord, His Son, Jesus Christ, that the veil has been lifted! May we boldly declare His Word and His love by refusing to walk in fear, that victory was purchased for us in love and in blood! Stir up our spirits today, dear Father!

2 Timothy 1:6-7 (KJV) 6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

2 Corinthians 3:12-16 (KJV) 12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

Ephesians 6:19-20 (KJV) 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Thanks for sharing and causing me to meditate on how, by His stripes, I've been healed from fear, and given hope to boldly proclaim His love, His power, and His good news.

Dear Steph!

You have ben posting some really excellent quotes. Thank you for all the encouraging and inspiring words.

I like what dear sister EarthMomma shared. The Spirit of God within us is not a spirit of fear. When we pray to our Heavenly Father to stir up our spirits, we should expect a spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind. In Him, and with Him in us, moving toward the future is a glorious adventure! Boldly, lovingly, we desire to take advantage of the many opportunities He will place before us to serve and bless others in His Name.

No fear, dear ones! :thumbsup:
