  • 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.

STOP IT!!! Stop longing after the meals on your table more than the meals in Gods word! How many christians are there who go to church and go home without being impacted?

I considered this yesterday how we listen to the word yet it seems to wither and die in many soon after the sermon is over! We hear words that should change our lives if we only would consider them fully and live by them! But what I see are many christians who go home to the next event of lunch and forget the life changing words the pastor has so desparately tried to communicate!

Who do you love? The song said "As the dear panteth for the water so my soul longs after you"...but do we long for our own bread more? Do your pastor a favor and when you listen...take the word with you when you go through your life.

We are on the same page. Weekly I see people go to sermon after sermon. They cry, sing, pray, raise their hands, but who are they doing it for? As soon as they leave the sanctuary, they meet up with friends and discuss what they are going to do with the rest of the day. WHAT HAPPEND TO THE CHRISTIAN BACK IN THE SANCTUARY!!

We should hunger for God's word, but seek it continually. The Church is the body of Christ that refills your soul when you're on empty, but most of the time you spend with God is by yourself. We have 1444 minutes in a day, but how do we spend it? In reverence of God or playing video games? What ever happend to the child that came to Christ when he called? We should still be child like in our relationship with God!!
