  • 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.

Having the heart for leading worship is not enough, because our heart is deceptive. Where God calls, he equips - and fills us where we are lacking. It would be simple for me: she wasn't ready yet, but when she will be ready, God will be equipping her for it, which will mean she will willingly and fruitfully receive teaching and skill. Until she is recieving these things, her heart's desire is not 'enough' to be leading the people of God.

Having a heart for something ----> doing it to God and God alone. A heart for something is a heart 101% to God, with no other gods or idols to please.
Having a heart to lead -----> doing it to God, being qualified and skilled to guide others as well, still with no other objective than bringing people to focus on God.

I feel very differently about music of all other contexts, creations, projections, etc. The objective and focus is so very different, but leading worship is serious buisness, and there is no room for the wild hearted.
