  • 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.

People usually despair and stress around election time in the US (probably other countries also). Just a friendly reminder that God is ultimately in control and his plan is working to perfection even if we don't understand it. Trust in Him and he will make your paths straight, even when circumstances seem to say otherwise (Proverbs 3:5-6)

May also be helpful to Remember This is not our Home:

We are in the world but not of it (John 17:16) Our battle is not against not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12) Our citizenship is not of this country or that country but of heaven(Philippians 3:20)
We are to be a heavenly people not an earthly people. Our life is from above, not this earth. Out minds are to be set on heavenly things not earthly things (Colossians 3:2)

These are the things that make for your peace.
