  • 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.

Open Your Eyes
By Barry Brindisi

Open your eyes and see that the world is not so gray!
Open your eyes and see the sun shining down on you!

Do you not hear the bird singing?
Do you not smell the flowers blooming?
Can you not taste the goodness of the Lord?

Open your eyes and know there is hope!
Open your eyes and know there is a future!

Just open your eyes!

Be not afraid of those things going on around you!
For the Lord is with you and none can stand against Him!
Be not afraid, for the Lord is a mighty fortress!
For we can take refuge in Him, so be not afraid!

Open your eyes and know that there is One who loves you!
Open your eyes and know that He seeks to help you, if you’d let Him!

Just open your eyes!

Do you not know that the Lord has a plan to give you, a hope and a future!
Do you not know that there is nothing that can separate you from the love of God?
Do you not know that you can rest in His Hands, for none can snatch you from there?

Open your eyes!
Be not afraid!
For there is indeed hope for those who trust in the Lord!
