  • 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.

When I say... "I am a Christian"​
I'm not shouting "I am Saved."​
I'm whispering "I was Lost!​
That is why I Chose this Way."​

*****

When I say... "I am a Christian"​
I don't speak of this with Pride.​
I'm confessing that I Stumble​
and need Someone to be my Guide.​

*****


When I say... "I am a Christian"​
I'm not trying to be Strong.​
I'm Professing that I'm Weak​
and Pray for Strength to Carry On.​

*****

When I say... "I am a Christian"​
I'm not bragging of Success.​
I'm admitting I have Failed​
and Cannot Ever Pay the Debt.

*****

When I say... "I am a Christian"​
I'm not claiming to be Perfect,​
my Flaws are too Visible​
but God believes I'm Worth it.​

*****

When I say... "I am a Christian"​
I still feel the sting of Pain.​
I have my share of Heartaches​
which is why I Seek His Name.​

*****

When I say... "I am a Christian"​
I do not wish to Judge.​
I have no Authority​
I only Know I'm Loved.
