  • 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.

What do you see when you look outside?
Do you see squirrels trying to hide?
Do you see birds flying in the air,
As though they have not got any care?

Do you see grass growing in the yard?
Do you see water flowing not from far?
Do you see clouds rising in the sky?
Do you see bushes housing butterflies?

Or do you see pain and sorrow, life now dead?
Do you envision what now lies ahead?
Do you see buildings burning, death in store?
Do you weep over this, this scene abhor?

Do you see politicians lie through teeth?
Do you see professing Christians live beneath?
What’s your view now of the world you see?
Do you see people now in harmony?

What’s your perspective of the world about?
Does it cause questions for you, so you doubt?
Do you wonder ‘bout to tomorrow, what ‘twill bring?
Are you far left in thinking, or right-wing?

Joy in what God created, there’s no doubt,
Hurts to see it destructed, flood or drought.
Painful to see so many lose their homes,
Painful to see so many from God roam.

Life is full of joys, but sorrows, too,
Future so uncertain, painful, too,
What tomorrow brings, we do not know,
But our God is sovereign, He does show.

With your circumstances trust Him now.
Leave your sins behind you, to Him bow.
Obey His commandments, do His will.
He’ll give peace within you, just be still.
