• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

soo true...I believe evolution is an illusion...this world has been deteriorating since sin entered the equation
that you find "degeneration" in any Christian-forum;
doesn't mean that sorry stuff is worth wasting bandwidth over.


I thought the OP invited "You likey?" - Well, here's *regeneration* worth exploring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-EOAuUMWtE&feature=related

In Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, Dr. Amen MD explains
how you can "optimize" your brain to achieve your fullest potential.
Using state-of-the-art brain imaging technology, you can
Enhance Positive Thought Patterns and Strengthen Connections &
most importantly,
Learn... positive, constructive Fun-skills, new
to you. why? -
because our neuro-endorphins, as neuro-transmittors, using such processes regenerate us, includg. our brains youthful.
How is this worthwhile? We can use this to better Serve &
PRAISE GOD, who Intelligently-designed & created us for the purpose of Praising GOD.

(definitely forget about 'poppin' more pills.)
Yet,
you can re-grow the brain GOD originally had us in mind to helpfully... use.
You're never too old, to learn fascinating new abilities, like Hebrew maybe, or another 1/2-dozen languages
you can even after 50 learn entire new Sports you can...

What will you choose? as your next new skill sets - now, such is something Worth sharing...

This is the kind of free-wheelin' improvisation I like to be a part of (keyboards or guitar):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJkUqpYff1g
I had the pleasure of playin' a bass guitar just like that one, for a year at a Sunday mornin' gig i did for some local Methodists.
It's a Hohner & it doesn't have a head at the top of the neck because it is strung backward with the tuning keys behind the bridge. It never got knocked out of tune & you didn't have to worry about puttin' aomebody's eye out.

I'm not into that whole "positive thinking" everythings smiles and sunshine craphola

I've already been down that road and I realize theres evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to remap the brain etc

but whats the cost? lying to yourself? loving a world the bible tells us to hate?

I'd rather just work with what god has given me and strengthen it in ways that will help the campaign of good

Abel, if you speed that up & add a hip-hop beat, it sounds kinda like "Right Here, Right Now" by Fat Boy Slim.
Reminded me of some fabulously bleak Russian dirges.
Two thumbs up, one amputated for frostbite from a Siberian winter.
