  • 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.

Jesus is worthy of all love and praise. He deserves our entire heart. Let's grow in giving in all things.

“You shall generously give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all your undertakings.” Deuteronomy 15:10

"Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away." Matthew 5:42

“Every generous act of giving and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father who made the heavenly lights, in whom there is no inconsistency or shifting shadow.” James 1:17

"but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs." Deuteronomy 15:8

Hello @Jamie Daniels, first off, WELCOME TO CF :wave:

Since you didn't ask us any questions in the OP, I'll add a couple more "giving" verses into the mix that came to mind, from a slightly different POV :)

Proverbs 3
9 Honor the LORD from your wealth
And from the first of all your produce;
10 So your barns will be filled with plenty
And your vats will overflow with new wine.

2 Corinthians 9
6 Now this I say, he who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully.
7 Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

God bless you!! (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)

--David

Galatians 6
9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
