  • 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.

This is hard to write, I really don't feel different, but Jesus changed me

Hi there!

Not sure that you want my entire history, but I am schizo, saved and spirit (if you are spirit it means you have been baptized). Schizo because of a cognitive deficit, saved because of Jesus and spirit as I said because I've been baptised.

To be honest, I don't feel a whole lot different this time around. Usually, I feel compelled by the most recent breakthrough, the most recent change to write a whole new testimony about how great God is, but this time I don't feel it. I know that something has changed, but it is not just a change. I feel concrete. I feel certain. Like I am unshakeable.

I know that God grafts trees. I know that He plants them where they don't belong and He waters them when the rains are about to fall anyway and its been too long and too hard. I know He prunes them when they are about to finish producing fruit. I know He expects the fruit to grow just because it falls on the ground. I know He leaves the fruit there to rot, until it does grow. I know He doesn't care if some things don't grow.

Which is sort of the point. I really don't feel like I am growing. But I know He doesn't hold it against me, and I feel great. I know Joyce Meyer will tell you forget about your feelings, but I also know you are reading between the lines already and every time I say feel, you are thinking "he means he is resting on the fact that..." Well I am resting. I could rest all day like this. I rest before I eat, I rest after I eat, I rest before I do the dishes.

Thankyou and goodnight.

Praise the Lord, I owe him the better part of Peace and the whole of my Peace in Him (sometimes we have Peace in things we shouldn't but that's not what I mean, I mean there's Peace He's given me I'm not even aware of the full extent of, well, you know what I mean...).
