  • 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.

You know we all have many trials in life, trials that make us cry gallons of tears, well I was chatting on line to a friend last night and this thought came to me;

Sorrow is like us being in a wooden boat in a pit and its real high, but at the top their is Jesus and hope.

Every tear I cry through sorrow raises the water level bit by bit by bit and slowly I discover that the very sorry that I am permitted to be afflicted by is actually raising the boat up near and nearer each day to the One I love most, the trials are bringing me close to Jesus. Isn’t that wonderful, how great and sweet He is to our souls. The Lord know our hurts & our tears are a means of blessing to us and Him.

He is able to bless us as we draw near to Him in sorrow and we gain a deeper walk with Him.

It's okay to cry..but you have to stay strong.

Actually there are times when God calls on us to be weak and humbled. There are times when we must be able to surrender to Him. Though I will say this, that God works differently in and for each person to his or her good.
