  • 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.

WHY OBEY?

Dag Heward-Mills

READ: Exodus 19:5-9

...if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people...

Exodus 19:5

Consider these fruits of obedience, which you will receive as you obey God in keeping His commandments:

1. You will become a peculiar treasure through obedience: Exodus 19:5

2. It will be well with you and your children because of your obedience: Deuteronomy 5:29

3. Your days will be lengthened through obedience to the Holy Spirit: 1 Kings 3:14

4. You will be blessed in all your undertakings through obedience: James 1:25

5. You will have access to the tree of life because of your obedience: Revelation 22:14

6. You will be blessed with good health because of your obedience: Exodus 15:26

7. You will be blessed with increase because of your obedience:

“In that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it” (Deuteronomy 30:16, NASB).
