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.

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
2 Tim 3:1-5
What a warning from Paul...he could be watching our daily news.

But when we accept Christ, we are increasingly
motivated to obey God out of love for him.
John 14:15-16, 21-24 . . .
If you love me, obey my commandments.

Jeremiah 29:11 It's good!
John 4:13-15 - Jesus said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

That's a good description of how we can feel, when we look at all the turmoil in this world around us.
It's a challenge to keep our eyes on Jesus and His words. I know I need to remember that a lot...."FEAR NOT, for I have Overcome the world!"
Thanks jppt!

He 10:38-39
But My righteous one shall live by faith; and if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him.
But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.

1 Peter 1:3 . . .
All honor to the GOD and Father of our LORD JESUS CHRIST,
for it is by HIS Boundless Mercy that GOD has given us the
privilege of being born again.
Mercy is not receiving the punishment we should
receive for our sins. Mercy is when we receive a
Beautiful Gift (like Salvation) that we don’t deserve.
Mercy is having Favor with Almighty GOD.
