  • 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.

The Candle Maker


There once was a boy who grew into a man. Inside this young mans soul was a candle that burned brightly, much brighter than anyone around him, so much so, it scared him. He thought to Himself, “I must hide this candle because I have been taught by everyone around me that candles are not cool. If they see or even Feel the heat of the flame they may reject me.” So for many years He concealed the candle and started to believe that he never had One to begin with. He had become what he was not. In silence He has loved, in silence he has cried, in silence he has suffered.
The one thing he did not realize is, that there is One that he can
Not hide the candle from, The candle Maker.
