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.

Prov 1:8-9
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
Instruction of the father
Law of the mother
Ornament of grace on the head
Chains around the neck
Spiritual meanings perhaps?

Listen to what your parents tell you to do and obey. If you do this you will gain wisdom and avoid the dangers of sin or folly. Chains are used to keep you from escaping, in this case, listening to the instruction of your parents/elders, you will stay away from trouble.

I like the quote about guarding your heart. I think that is so important. Often we give our heart's affections to things or people more than to God without realizing it. But I think when we love God with ALL our heart, everything else will fall into place and we will not be in danger of placing too much importance on other things.Lilly of the Valley said:
Another verse from Proverbs 24 I like is #9 "the thought of foolishness is sin." It is so imperative that a Christian be careful of the things we dwell on in our mind. The proverb doesn't say 'the thought of SIN is sin' but the 'thought of FOOLISHNESS is sin.' When we do not try to avoid foolish thought patterns we sin.
