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.

Eschatology Note # 10 - DLF
Humanity has for centuries been viewing the heavens - outer space - for "signs" or indicators meaningful to us. Nowadays it is no different and star-gazing is enhanced by more powerful optical telescopes on earth and in space, and radio-telescopes that can receive...
Some of the ideas we have in our minds that do not seem to directly relate to eschatology can nevertheless affect how we think about it. One of them is the difference in outlook of the ancient Greeks and Hebrews that contrasts Greek philosophy with a biblical outlook. One particular difference...
“I hate those who are double-minded,
But I love Your law.
You are my hiding place and my shield;
I wait for Your word.
Depart from me, evildoers,
That I may observe the commandments of my God.
Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live;
And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.” (Psalm...
(suggestion: read Hebrews 4, which is about entering into God's Sabbath rest)
Let me rest from all considerations
Which come knocking on the door of peace.
Sabbath Day reflects emancipation
From the cares this world may bring.
Breaking bread, op’ning the Word
With the Brethren, and family...

4 But the Lord said to Gideon, “The people are still too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. Then it will be, that of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ the same shall go with you; and of whomever I say to...

"The sisters slowly lowered themselves briefly behind the berry shrub where they had peeked through the branches, to be more out of sight, and stayed still, not moving at all. There would be no way they could overcome such a huge snake, and it would be all over if the snake found them.

“One Census. 70,000 Dead. Pride Kills.” (2 Samuel 24:15)
Self-Reliance: David’s Census Cost 70,000 Lives—Yours? (2 Samuel 24)
