  • 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.

Notice in Philipians 4:9 it tells us "And the God of peace will be with you." it says it after all the inspirational feelings you should have daily, for it says to rejoice in all things, so that means hard times aswell. As long as we keep rejoiceing and praising God, He'll keep giving us peace. But we have to meet God in the middle a little, We cant go through our trials and tribulation, which we were warned about, complaining and groaning in it, and expect to be blessed after it, and question why isen't God helping us through it, but mean while were not rejoicing in God through it. And sure it will be difficult, but keep God's word and promises in your heart always, keep in mind your blessings and rewards are coming soon, when having trust in God, there then is NO worries after that, so therefore nothing bad will happen since you continue in faith in all you do. Which means rejoicing in God for when good times happened as well, because when good things come in your life, it doesn't just happen because of luck, but by the grace of God, again I say, as long as you rejoice through it all. As excited as you are to be blessed by God, God is just as thrilled to bless us, because He sees our strong faith rejoicing in Him.
Also said in Psalm 118:24 "This is the day the Lord has made so I will rejoice and be glad in it." Saying that in the morning once you start your day your submitting and already confessing that you will rejoice in the day, just because some negative things try to attack, stay in faith and remember that the Lord made the day, so continue to be glad and rejoice in it.
Hallelujah Father God we come before You humbly & peacefully, asking for complete forgiveness of all our sins. We say this special prayer to You, Rejoicing in Your awesome powerful name, believing & trusting in You for all things. We are full of joy Lord because of Your wonderful love & grace. Thank You Lord for all things we have and all thats to come. In Jesus Holy Mighty Name, we pray, Amen!
