  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello-
-Ron I'm 22yrs old and I love Jesus.

Radical Honesty: "When we reveal more, we have less to hide, when we have less to hide, we are less worried about being found out, when we are less worried about being found out we can pay better attention to someone else. In this way telling the truth makes intimacy and freedom possible"

In my view, Radical Honesty is being completely authentic with relationships.
Entertain this thought....
"To be fully loved, one must be fully known."
I believe that's why I love Christ so much... He knows everything about me: successes, failures, insecurities, fears, passions, desires etc...
Jesus knowing all my sins and mess-ups.... All the times I rejected Him and mocked His ways, but Christ still loved me, He still died for me on that cross....
That type of love is unparalleled... That type of love changed my heart to want to please and glorify God.
I'm fully known by Jesus; that's why I feel fully loved and accepted.
God accepts me not on my own merits but Christ's perfect righteousness alone!

What would our life look like, if we didn't care what others thought?
What would our life look like, if we lived for Gods acceptance not the worlds acceptance?
What would our life look like, if we were fully known by everybody?

Nothing to hide but everything to give!

Those are some intimidating thoughts but keep your eyes and heart on Christ and your worries will fly away.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!
Ron
P.S. Honesty is the Best Policy!
