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's on your mind?

Today I was pondering how would Christians define sacrifice as opposed to the non-believers/unsaved/lost/pagan/the world's version of sacrifice. We all have to make sacrifices, so there must be a difference

Tonight I am glad I didn't get married. You really, really, really have to follow the mainline patterns of the world to be married.

Notices were sent out to SNAP recipients that they may not receive benefits in November if the shutdown isn’t resolved by October 31st. Many are celebrating under the assumption the majority are freeloaders. But there are many seniors, disabled persons and children impacted too. Additional casualties include WIC which provides formula and food for infants and the school lunch program.
Please remember the needy in prayer and seek justice on their behalf and correction for your brethren delighting in their suffering. For children of God to revel in such wickedness is unconscionable. You can use the scripture below concerning the shutdown if needed.
Behold, the [wicked and irreverent] man is pregnant with sin, and he conceives mischief and gives birth to lies. He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, and has fallen into the [very] pit which he made [as a trap]. His mischief will return on his own head, and his violence will come down on the top of his head [like loose dirt]. I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness and justice, and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

That's what makes them such effective hostages. Good people don't want to see the elderly or helpless go hungry.
But to use Government shutdown to force the elderly and the helpless to go hungry, when a "Clean CR" is on the table, because they want to add a laundry list of things that the majority of people democratically voted against. If people are concerned, then they need to call their local reps and tell them to vote for the clean CR and open the Government back up, and work on passing bills through Congress and Senate for their wish lists. Not using the weak and elderly as hostages to force what they want down our throats.
