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.

“In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
‘We have a strong city;
he sets up salvation
as walls and bulwarks.
Open the gates,
that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts...
Trump has been lying and lying - what is new? The Republicans have control of the White House, the Senate and the House - but it is the Democrat's shutdown?
Nope. The Democrats are not trying to keep ACA coverage for illegal immigrants. They want to keep the subsidies for 24 million...
What a merciful Author,
Our names are written in The Book!
By faith we see the red receipt,
“Jesus paid it full”.
Some transactions are just rumored,
Others vague by age,
But this one is historical,
Touches us today.
In the Book, (2x)
In the Book, (2x)
Penned before earth’s foundation,

“19 As in water face reflects face,
So the heart of man reflects man.
20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,
Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.
22 Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his foolishness will not depart from him.” (Proverbs...
“Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you...
Brothers and sisters, the world screams "chaos!"—from London's streets, where arrests pile high at Palestine protests and synagogue attacks spark riots, to America's borders, bloodied by sniper fire at ICE facilities and shadowed by Charlie Kirk’s killing. Leaders like Trump herald "peace and...
For the bold texts below, I insert what the Interlinear reflects, instead of their English renderings. The NKJV English translations, to which we are accustomed, are "rooms" in Psalm 91 and "dwelling place" in John 14:2. Looking at the Interlinear definitions side-by-side, one sees that the...
Fisepel went on after a moment of consideration, "They both found it steep enough to be a bit challenging. Eva and Jaffa had to consider that they could climb out again, and went on when they figured out how they could. Then they found there was abundant growth of edible fruits that they would...
Ever wonder what true unity in the church really means? It's not about emotional highs, cool events, or political agreement.
The Westminster Confession and Scripture (like Ephesians 4:4-6) are clear: the church's catholicity (universality) is built on a shared profession of the true religion...
The world, based on self, expects us to go with the flow. We are bombarded daily with everything related to self-absorption, from politics/consumerism to prosperity gospels. Even Christianity turned from a Him religion to a me one, more concerned about what's in it for us than God's overcoming...
“An angry man stirs up strife,
And a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.
A man’s pride will bring him low,
But a humble spirit will obtain honor.
He who is a partner with a thief hates his own life;
He hears the oath but tells nothing.
The fear of man brings a snare,
But he who trusts in...
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp...
“Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel, so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else, and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord...
“He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that...
Well, this week the president supported medical advice from a non-medical doctor who was a heroin addict for 14 years (and says he did better in school because of it?), and had a brain worm eating his brain, and who eats road kill. The advice is not supported by science or the medical...
I am not exaggerating when I say that I am undergoing a shaking.
I am one of a group lay folk who each give a Bible study to Spanish speakers. My presentation is more like a sermon. I have, in a sense, felt pruned in preparing for these. I have been writing and writing my words. For many...
“And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
“Pray, then, in this way:
‘Our Father who is in heaven,
Hallowed be...
Before light, before land, before time itself was counted — the Spirit hovered over the formless deep. This is tohu wa-bohu, the blank canvas of creation (Gen 1:2).
The question of how to interpret the creation account in Genesis 1 has sparked countless discussions and debates among Christians...
Fisepel said then, "I have been working out a story too. It probably needs much more development still, I just thought of basic things for it."
Jecharon said, "You can still tell us what you have for it, we already will understand you do not have it all finished."
"Alright. Two sisters, Eva...
We Partake of God’s Tenderness
St. Peter writes that Christians are to have a “tender heart.”[269] With Mary, we receive and respond to God’s tenderness in our encounters with Him—in His Word, in the Eucharist, and in the Love Crucified Community.
The Simple Path to Union with God (p. 278)...
