  • 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.

"According to the FBI, most bank robberies are “Unsophisticated and unprofessional” crimes. Despite the ubiquity of all-seeing surveillance cameras, 76% of robbers don’t bother with a disguise, and 95% have no plan to conceal their spoils.
Case in point, Jack Shreiner. This criminal mastermind handed a New York City bank teller a note demanding money. She surrendered $7,791 in cash. After four days, our evil genius then decided the best place to stash his loot was in a savings account. The enigmatic part of his brilliant plan is that he selected the very bank he had just robbed......"

Sin makes us bend out of shape, the perfect shape, which was created from God, in the beginning. That perfect shape was love, and was created in the image of God, who is Love. That shape was holiness.

Sin and cancer are brother and sister. Cancer destroys and bends out of shape, that which is created beautiful, healthy, lovely. Sin bends out of shape a heart which is made by love, and is created for love. The heart becomes ugly, with no life, no light in it. It becomes dead, and it needs help. The grace and the love of God, come like an ambulance, to help the heart live again, regain its beauty, and be transformed for eternity.
