  • 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 pray in the name of Jesus for God to save this friend in the spiritual sense and the physical sense. I pray for God's will to be done in His life. Lord, we know that you have control over this situation and that we have done what you have instructed us to do in Phillipians 4:6-7 by praying about this problem. Now, Lord Jesus, please let your peace fall on this friends' family and on all his friends and relatives about his situation right now. I pray that you would work everything out for good and that out of this situation You will cause many to believe that You are Lord. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Dear Lord,

Be with this person who attempted suicide. Be with him, and heal him. Open his heart and mind to hear the wonders of your salvation and grace. Let him see how wonderful life can be with you. Be with his family and friends at this time. Give them hope and comfort.

Bad news I'm afraid.

After making this post, I headed up to the hospital. The method of suicide involved a gun, so it wasn't pretty. He is still on life support because he wanted to give his organs (always has said that), but he is braindead of course.

He was a very good kid and the least of anyone I would expect this of. He had been coming to our "small group" bible studies on wednesday nights for a few weeks and we have known him for two and a half years. He would come over on the weekend and hang out. The events that lead up to the event are very tragic and shouldn't have happend. Granted he made the choice, but it was very rough obviously.

Anyway, the first thing my bro thought to himself when he heard the news is that he hoped he impacted him enough to accept Jesus. After knowning him for these past couple of years and the tug of Jesus on him, I believe he is with Jesus and we will see him when our time comes.

Raymond Duke - 16 years old.
Please pray for his family through this time and his circle of friends - they are a very tight knit group of kids.
