  • 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.

The Face of Grace

THE FACE

OF GRACE

Surrounded by unusual light, reflecting here and there,

A mass of colour, the full array of the rainbow

Surging like the waves of the ocean

Such beauty to behold



Where was this place, what destination is this,

Never had I seen such a place

Yet it feels so familiar, as if

I was meant to be here



Face upon face that I come across

Appeared to reflect such brilliance

Glimpses of which I had only seen

On rare occasions before



The past seemed to be just as if

A breath had been taken

Time was still, yet things continued

Where was this place?



It was not anywhere that I had known

I gazed around to ask

Greeted by face after face

That looked familiar



Each face reflected such beauty

It seemed to come from one direction

As I turned, the light got stronger

My heart began to beat faster



The most brilliant figure that you could imagine

Stood there in front of me

His face shone with such brilliance

His features were hidden by it



But then I realised that I was

In the presence of the creator Himself

Falling down in awe of Him

I heard Him say



Child, let me take your hand

I want to show you who you are

It was then that I realised

That I had met the

Face of Grace
