  • 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

Rejoice with me!

I apologize if this is the wrong forum, here and the deliverance forum are the only places I post and read.

Rejoice with me!!!

I went to the BMV at lunch today to get my new plates and on the way out I was asked by a man from Zimbabwe if I could help him. He needed a ride to a driving school nearby. I said sure and we got in my car. I asked him where he was from and he said Zimbabwe. I asked him if that was the country near the congo and who the leader was. He said it's Robert Mugabe and I said oh, I've heard all about that guy, he's worth billions and has stashed his billions all over the world while his people starve. He said yeah, that's the guy, and we talked about him for a while.

Then I said, well you know what Jesus says about that "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?". Then I asked him what religion he was, he said umm Christian I think. Then I asked him what he thinks it means to be a Christian. He said something vague about going to church. I then began to give him the Gospel by using an analogy about a traffic judge who requires the fine to be paid, even if it is your first ticket and you promise to never break the law again. How God is just and requires the penalty to be paid. How God himself became a man (Jesus) to pay the infinite penalty we cannot pay. He seemed to understand.

When we arrived at our destination I asked him if he'd like to pray, so I led him through a prayer, gave him one of my Jack Chick tracts "back from the dead" and told him to go get a KJV Bible and pray that God would lead him to other believers. I didn't even get this man's name, but oh what a wonderful way to spend lunch. Please pray for this man and his family, and that God will guide him.
