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.

But there's no glammor or glory in being a missionary to your own people. You can't go back to your home church with pictures of the savage heathens you've saved, and you can't impress them with the new and obscure language you had to learn to be able to communicate with them. And you don't even get to wear a brightly-colored traditional costume on Missions Weekend.
Can you imagine the shame of talking to fellow missionaries and hearing all about their exotic locales, then when they ask you where your missions field is you have to say, "Cleveland"? I think a lot of people would be apt to say, "Cleveland? That's not a mission field" and write you off as a kook.

a couple of months back I read a really good book that I had laying around for awhile called "Ava's Man" by Rick Bragg...If you like the Southern Writers you'll love it, if not pass it by.

Just started rereading Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola. Funny, it has the same flavor as the Bercot book (Kingdom/Upside down).
