  • 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.

every day each of us pass people on the street daily...people washing cars, weeding a garden. so...why not pray for them? i know i know, if you do you won't be able to sing to the music playing in your car, but following Christ is about sacrifice. Christ died for us, the least we can do is spare a few minutes in prayer for those you pass while driving or maybe even shopping. you could be the first one to pray for them...how awesome is that!! but, seriously, to pass a person by and not mention them in prayer is...kind of selfish. if we all did that, can you imagine how many people's lives would change!! with one prayer God can do a million things!!! don't just think one prayer will do nothing for that person. where's your faith?! where you are is a mission field. so be a missionary like God has called all of us to be! whether in an office or working with children. God can use you where you are. pray for people passing by you waiting in line, or anywhere for that matter!! run like Jesus did. run to the lost and tell them about him...and/or pray for them. sometimes we underestimate the power of prayer. just thought i'd encourage you to do a little prayer for those in your neighborhood.

I totally agree with this and this is something I've been training myself to do automatically to pray for other drivers on the road or passengers on the bus or people on the street. Even just the simple prayer, "Lord Please Bless them and bring them to salvation" I've had to especially train myself to pray that even more so for those that a negative thought would come into my head about. Someone cuts you off in traffic, talks too loud on the bus, or is just seemingly some snotty young kid who seems to have a major attitude problem...but those are the ones we should pray quadruple blessing upon and really desire to come to know Jesus!!!!!

AMEN and thanks for the awesome post!
