  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I watched "The Cross and the Switchblade" last night. It was a film in 1970 - a story of a preacher who brought a group of gang youths to Christ. It was a touching story. :)
Yes - a very good movie. Have you read either of the books it was based on? the story was entirely true.

"The Cross and the Switchblade" by David Wilkerson (1963)
"Run Baby Run" by Nicky Cruz (1972)

My favorite scene in that was when Wilkerson (played by Pat Boone) had Cruz and his gang to take up the offering.

No, I didn't read the books. I suppose the stories must be good.

I like the scene where he appeared outside the door at 3am. That just showed how determined he was.

Definatly. Both of them were VERY determined. Wilkerson went on from that experience to start Teen Challenge in New York, an outreach ministry to teens on the streets, most of whom were in gangs.

Nicky went on to be a very successful evangelist in the Latino community.
