  • 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.
A friend sent this to me. She didn't write it but I thought I would share it here.


IF.....


If you never felt pain,
Then how would you know that I am a Healer?


If you have never prayed through,
How would you know that I am a Deliverer?


If you never had a trial,
How could you call yourself an overcomer?


If you never felt sadness,
How would you know that I am a Comforter?


If you never made a mistake,
How would you know that I am forgiving?


If you knew all,
How would you know that I will answer your Questions?


If you never were in trouble,
How would you know that I will come to your recue?


I you never were broken,
Ten how would you know that I can make you whole?


I you never had a problem,
How would you know that I can solve them?


I you never had any suffering,
Ten how would you know what I went through?


If you never went through the fire,
Then how would you become pure?


If I gave you all things,
How would you appreciate them?


If I never corrected you,
How would you know that I love you?


If you had all power,
Then how would you learn to depend on me?


If your life was perfect,
Then what would you need me for?


Love, JESUS
