  • 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.

Only GOD ( JESUS CHRIST ) can take a man from the depths of hell, anoint and appoint, make new and use for His glory.
He took me out of them prison uniforms and called me to pulpits and beyond, blessing me to be a blessing beyond what words can express.
Convicted armed robber, thief. Now a minister of the Gospel. Praying for His continued guidance and anointing to so all He has called and appointed me to do!
Fifteen years inside human warehouses of pain and misery so that I can now give testimony of His glory!

When one speaks of a feeling to have a calling to preach, I always wonder what that means. First, I wonder: is this one truly "born again" by faith and devotion to the Lord Jesus, the Christ of God, or just has gotten religion and wants to preach some Bible verses and ways of life; then, I wonder what evidence is there that this one is really qualified to tell others what is of God; and, the thought follows: whether the one knows the Bible, and what makes him "a minister"? That is worth knowing before anyone should assume a preacher is valid and worth listening to. After that, I would like to encourage a true believer on.
