  • 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.

Trying times are all around us,
Circumstances, they confound us,
Memories past they sometimes hound us,
Give them all to God, He’ll help us.

Hurtful memories often linger,
Raw emotions they may trigger,
Makes no sense, but so go figure.
God is sovereign, and He’s bigger!

Sometimes people unforgiving,
They’ve not been where you are living,
Not in Christ are they believing,
Listening to the lies deceiving.

Can’t turn back the clock, no matter,
People filled with empty chatter,
Lies about you they may scatter,
While each other they may flatter.

Give them all to Jesus ever,
Trust in Him forever after,
Let them go, embrace Him rather,
Life in Him is all that matters.

An Original Work / August 22, 2022

P.S. We are always to forgive those who have hurt us, who have done evil against us, and who have slandered us falsely. Sometimes the Lord may say for us to leave, and to move on, and sometimes he may say to stay and to keep persevering in loving those who do not love us in return. And sometimes he may even lead us to return to where we have been mistreated before because he wants to use us there again in people's lives.
