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.

“As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will...
(After viewing the leaf-strewn, wooded area in the back yard, a day after Thanksgiving)
Near woods, unashamed,
Regal trees above downed leaves,
Years-old timber down.
Too early to dream?
Not to those who know green comes
As sure as frost came.
John’s new Heaven,^ near:
The fallenness shouts...

"Once the bag was pulled all the way up out of the canyon from above, Jaffa then climbed out herself, that same way. So they were out from the canyon before the huge snake returned. They both went on the way back to their home, with that filled bag and the woven rope. They had seen that where...

We loved Him because He first loved us.

1…to those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:

“All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble, and make straight paths for your feet, so that...
“Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; that I may make it clear in the...
The Father sent the Son. The Father raised the Son. The Father even folded the cloth. Everything is finished. Rest. ️
It was an ordinary Sunday morning, yet one that led to a profound theological journey. As I sat in church today, the sermon’s outline, translated from Japanese to English...
Prayer is the key
Tenderness is the virtue that allows the love in your heart to be expressed through touch, sight, and speech.
God is love; therefore, during My time on earth, My love was revealed through the touch of My hands,
the gaze of My eyes, and the words I spoke.
—The Love Crucified...
I have been moving for the last two weeks so I didn't get to do this last week. Hopefully I am not moving again for a looong time. It is exhausting.
Many Americans are not buying Trump's lies. His approval is at an all-time low for him. People know that grocery prices are up, and...
“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these...
The apostle Paul speaking: “For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void. For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of...

I dreamt that I was in a palace. I saw many people I didn’t recognize, yet I somehow knew they were family members of the owners. I was experiencing everything from the perspective of a woman, though I couldn’t tell which woman it was. She was a short lady. I could deeply...

I dreamt that I was in Michigan, USA. I was shown a massive temple made entirely of mirrors designed to reflect light, but the borders of the mirrors were decorated with the classic Egyptian pattern of gold and black. The scene changed, and suddenly I was standing on the...
Jesus was not a Christian. He was Jewish. His original followers were Jewish only. These Jewish disciples, followers and Apostles remained Jewish. Nor did He come to create a religion, but to fulfill not only OT scriptures, but to further God's agenda in overcoming adversity. His priority was...
“But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to...

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...
