• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Reflections on having met UMP in person.

I don't know if this should go in this section but since this is where he hangs out I wanted to put it where he would see it.

I met Ump this past Saturday and we had a wonderful time on the golf course even though it rained. I found him to be a delightful fellow and very generous. He exhibited a desire for truth that I rarely come across. I honestly can't think of a time that I enjoyed the fellowship of a brother more. I would encourage any who visit these forums who are able to meet to do so.

You will probably find that most of what I say I stole from him. Of course he doesn't mind because he stole it from somebody else. ;)

What a nice thing to say.

And I think I understand where you're coming from. The people I worship with are, in many respects, closer to me than some of my blood relations. Even though I haven't met anyone from CF, I feel a bond with them that I only find with brothers and sisters in Christ. God has truly blessed us with a large and loving family.

UMP and I met over in GA, and I have enjoyed reading his posts here in SR. Glad you came over to SR for fellowship UMP!

Ron, I always enjoy your posts.
