  • 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.

Friends,

Millions around the globe will be reading this Psalm.

We make this a 'go to' when there is a serious threat.

First question is - are you living in the Shelter of the Most High?

I ask this because those who do, do not have fear.

Second question, verse 8 suggests that those who fall to the threat are wicked !

At this point we better make the whole psalm poetic or metaphorical pretty quick so as not to offend.

Third point. Angelic protection is fundamental to safety. They act at His command - if you dwell in the Shelter of the Most High.

OK then... safety comes to those who position themselves under Him and fear not.


How do we position ourselves under Him?

Verse 14 points to Christ - the One who knew His Name. (John 17)

But He did not get the long life on earth as promised - we do through the blood of the Cross.

So be in Jesus - this is more than belief, it is to position yourself - under the blood - as in the passover.

Fear Not.

why do I get these doubts in the back of my mind that God would do this for me?
When you learn a truth or promise of God, the enemy tries to steal it from you by implanting thoughts of fear and doubt. Cling to every promise so that it becomes part of who you are.
