  • 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.

No pain, no gain- the least sacrifices and efforts have the least effect.

Finally the Great One has given me the Holy Spirit full power. This is because I have realised that serving him won't be easy.

Those of you that are cruising along comfortably through life, obeying God's commands and doing the odd good deed here and there need to buck your ideas up. Too many people think that being a Christian will help you to be happy during your mortal life- WRONG- It's about working to serve Jesus, living ONLY for Jesus. So give up ALL your recreation and devote ALL to serving God- don't quit just because its hard.

I will post more about this as time goes on.

Do you all see what I mean?
 
Yes indeed, there are four types of break/recharge etc.: eating, sleeping, reading the bible, and doing recreational stuff that helps you serve God (eg. fitness if you are a police/fireman etc., philosophy if you are a vicar, and so on.)

Of course, I'm not so good myself- often do things wrong that I have put down here. Just thought I'd tell all what Jesus has taught me. Its' not easy, but I only stopped sinning 16 minutes ago now, so I have a lot to do to enter His Kingdom.
