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 daily thread.

Praise the Lord for His Spirit. 
I will rest in the Lord and know that He has everything under control.

It really is.Yes, Hebrews 12.2 is a great reference point for the believer!
Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and is set down on the right hand of God.
This really shows how badly Jesus wanted us to be in fellowship with Him.
We were the joy that was set before Him.

Praise the Lord my soul. John 7:37 "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

I googled "me jesus and my bible" and the first 4 hits were scriptures from John 14. That being the chapter where He promises the Holy Spirit to those who keep His words. Praise the Lord.

Out of curiosity, why would you Google, "me Jesus and my Bible"?I googled "me jesus and my bible" and the first 4 hits were scriptures from John 14. That being the chapter where He promises the Holy Spirit to those who keep His words.

I might be going nuts.
I was walking my dog earlier and I heard this strange noise above me.
I looked up and there was this squirrel chatting away looking straight at me. He was about 15-20 feet above me.
So I looked straight back at that squirrel and told him if I still had Cloey, (that's the dog in the picture) that he would not have been chatting at me, he would have been scampering up that tree getting as far away as he could.
Cloey loved to chase squirrels, it was her favorite thing to do.
Talking to myself is one thing, sometimes I just need someone intelligent to talk to.
Talking to my dog is another thing. Sometimes I think she understands what I say.
Talking to squirrels I don't even know. This might not be good.
