  • 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.

I had written this poem to express poetically the dawn of salvation in my heart.

A little background: I was a meth manufacturer and addict before Christ came into my life and transformed me powerfully. My life until that point was one of darkness, emptiness, and hopelessness. Through the reading of the book of Ephesians I received my faith and from death I was awakened to be made a partaker in His light.

God bless.

In Christ,
Shaun

I'm so glad I took the time to read that.....beautiful poem/ testimony.... You had some REAL BIG lines, I especially liked the one about the world being empty and unable to fill our hearts....thanks for that.

Thank you very much for your comment.
