  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

seeing others with what you don't have can scathe and be somewhat cold.
But eventually we have to look at mortality and find our humility, due to it being what will heal us. Being spiteful towards others does not clear the heart of remorse, and
at some point we all stare at our day of the deathbed, seemingly with acceptance for what life is, or having more regret than having been happy with our decisions knowing that what we lived and did and chose, is self evident that it was meant to be, and that growing to maturity, we are fine drawing the last breathe, and the spirit going back to what we have called and known to be God. or if you're not okay with that. The Universe. The Spirit of Life. Something out there that we know to be of life and is divine. As life itself with all its spirituality must have acclimated to something that was of true purpose to all.
Remember to keep the inheritance of what has been known to be good through out the ages. Because these were the testimonies of men and women to which we have become compared to, not being offended that in life there is good and there is that which has always been deemed of wrong doing. And thankfully these things do not change.

'So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.'

(Psa 90:12)

'LORD, make me to know mine end,
and the measure of my days, what it is;
that I may know how frail I am.
Behold, Thou hast made my days as an handbreadth;
and mine age is as nothing before Thee:
verily every man at his best state
is altogether vanity. (Selah).
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew:
surely they are disquieted in vain:
he heapeth up riches,
and knoweth not who shall gather them.
And now, Lord, what wait I for?
my hope is in Thee.

(Psa 39:4-7)

Hello @FountainTurtles32.

It is good to consider our own mortality, and to number our days, for it encourages us to consider our ways, and to desire to make each moment count, even if it is spent in quiet contemplation.

Thank you
In Jesus Name
Chris
