  • 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.

[COLOR=#0d]Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
[COLOR=#0d]Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
[COLOR=#0d]Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [/COLOR]

We pray Use me Lord...I can't find in the where it says He used anyone or anything.
The devil kills, steal, destroys...and manipulates. Pure LOVE I don't think can USE anyone.
We pray sincerely here am I send me and He will..we pray sincerely here am I use me I don't think He can answer that prayer...and if the devil can't get us to miss or abort the opportunity to follow after God then maybe the devil pushes us to "pray more ernestly to be used" of God and God wants to work through us and with us and in us and for us but won't use us.
There's a verse in the that says "fit for the masters use?" I've heard that all my life but...I can't find it anywhere in that exact phrasology.
And when I looked up masters as a word search in the concordance I didn't find it either...Have we been blinded by the devil or some "religious spirit?" Thinking we are so spiritual and trying to seek God sincerely and being sincerly wrong in our phrasology????
Next time you want to be of service to the King...just ask Him to work with you through you and in you for His purposes....He will work with...but pure Love will never use anyone. Praise the Lord for this revelation....I just got set free myself.
Luk 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Friends don't use friends.....We are His friends if we keep His commandments. Don't take my word for it go look it up for yourself and see what you find...
What do you think?
