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.

"Albared and his family found a home by a lake. A few others made their homes there. The homes faced the lake, protective walls were built behind them. Early on it was a dozen homes, with space between them. The children among them grew up in their time, they would marry among each other, and...
Every church movement, every local church, has their challenges. Left to purely human reasoning, there are things that can feel restricting, too slow to bloom to fruit—and dare we say it (?), too slow to conform to our expectations...however close our impatient convictions might accurately...
Have you ever felt like your own thoughts were a prison? Like the voice inside your head wasn’t really yours, but a cruel imitation?

I am now reading in Acts 9, some of which I will summarize, and some of which I will quote in the NASB1995.
Saul, who later became the apostle Paul, was still on a rampage against the followers of Jesus Christ, and he was on his way to Damascus to persecute even more followers of The Way...
Becoming Like Little Children (Chapter Talk)
When Jesus says we must become like little children to enter the kingdom of heaven, could He be revealing what we already are? We are children. What we call “mature adulthood” is often just a more sophisticated childishness: seeking control, always...
Scared Jonah afoot, *
Suites stare over crosswalk lights.
Shadows stomp below.
New York City, whale
Swall’wing whole his soul, all day. *
So small—”Going up!"
At his flat, spat out,
Splat! Over dry carpet, doubt. ^
God knocks at his door. ^^
Behold, by his heart,
Ready to befriend, to dine...
Twenty-one years ago, in 2004, my husband Rick and I were training to be church planters with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (The Alliance), the church denomination I grew up under. Rick was going for his ordination, and I was going for my consecration. So there was a district prayer...

After watching RJK Jr. get grilled this week by the Senate, and hearing his comments and looking at his decisions, this person's post on X is so appropriate:

I ended up posting what was to be the first post in "blog details". I don't want to repost it here as that would be redundant.

Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my
servant will be healed (from Luke 7:7 NKJV, bold is mine)
There are a string of Bible verses, here, that I mention or allude to...for a short

“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine...
What is The Church?
My name is Sue Love. I am 75 years old, less than four months away from turning 76. I believed in Jesus Christ to be my Lord and Savior at our church’s summer camp in Beaulah Beach, Ohio, at age 7. The church I was a part of from birth was affiliated with the Christian &...
As we learned in the Garden, good and evil existed side by side within the spirit of God of which we are a part (otherwise the tree would not have been there). Our choice, since that time, is which nature we follow, the one which is servitude to God and each other in need, or evil which is...
The harvesting of their growing food was more productive that next day, and much wood dry enough to be useful was collected, mostly for firewood. More of them took part in this, no one thought they were ready for more construction, that would still be needed soon.

In Luke Chapter 4 (bold is mine, as well as wording within brackets. NKJV):
16 So He [Messiah Jesus] came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah...

“You have not heard, you have not known.
Even from long ago your ear has not been open,
Because I knew that you would deal very treacherously;
And you have been called a rebel from birth.
For the sake of My name I delay My wrath,
And for My praise I restrain it for you,
In order not to cut you...
