  • 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.

Each day take a different part of the mirror of conscience and pray; "Search me O God, and know my heart!" (Psalm 139; 23). Pray for the Spirit of truth, repentance and Godly sorrow to show you where you have greived the Lord and have walked unworthy of His redemption. Treat the things that the Lord reveals to you according to the words of scriputre; "Confess your sins to one another" (James 5; 16), and then you will experience that "the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin" (1 John 1; 7). Cling to this in your struggles with sin, and you will experience what you believe.The purpose for which Jesus has redeemed you is nothing less than this wonderful vocation; "You are a chosen race, a royal preisthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkeness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2; 9). Have I lived worthy of this vocation? Have I shown the excellencies of Jesus in my whole being? Or have I dis-credited the image of Jesus in me, and therefor greived the Lord who has chosen me and redeemed me through His precious blood, so I can be conformed to His image (Romans 8; 29)
