  • 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.

Praise for insight!

Tonight I was thinking about my day and very bothered about something. I couldn't figure out why I was so bothered, and I hoped the Lord would show me why. I didn't even really verbally ask the Lord, it was more a hope in my heart.

And guess what? As I was sitting there, a thought popped into my head that is so true, it has brought me immediate relief from my bafflement! This is the wonderful Counselor, the Holy Spirit! Praise God!

I had been wondering why the behavior of a particular person bothers me so much. And the Holy Spirit revealed that I am bothered by this person's deception. This person wants to look bigger and more important than he is. But the truth is that he is very small and immature. I got an impression that the Lord is saying ... "This is how this person is. His actions reveal his character. Do not be fooled by his game. His values are twisted. Just laugh and be as kind as possible. There is no need to take him as seriously as you have been."

What a relief! :clap:
