  • 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.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NASB)

“for we walk by faith”.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To walk by faith, two things are of necessary importance, and to the deepness of the degree one walks in their reality, to that degree can and will one be living in faith towards God...

1) One must be convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that one must, absolutely must, keep the commandments of God..

2) And, that it is absolutely impossible for one to do so...

When this state of heart is reached, and to the degree this state of heart is reached, is this one ready to throw themselves, and abandon themselves, up to the operation of God in them, in real time, for the rest of the time, in the eternal ever present...

This is the emptying of one self of themselves, this is the place of walking in faith before God... Knowing this, that He is real, He lives, and He cares for them personally...

This abandoning of oneself up to God is the all of dying to self, or denying of the will of the flesh, giving up one’s own will in all things, to God’s will in all things.. For God’s will in all things is the doing of the right thing in all things, seasons, areas, towards all, at all times, regardless of what one might want at that time or season.. To only look and search after what is right in that set of circumstances... This is the looking after and searching after the will of God in all things... A walking in the righteousness one sees at that particular moment of time..

For a searching after righteousness is a searching after God... For righteousness and God are one and the same, one finds one, one has found the other...

For this is the truth of reckoning oneself dead to sin but alive unto God, only using different words to put forth the same truth...For believing into Christ’s death as ones death, is the strength of ones salvation... For as one’s faith is, so is one’s walk...

For looking away from ones self to Christ for all things, is the walk of all walks...

Be blessed in the walk, Not me
