Guidance to CFC members

Below are my suggested reflections on the signs of the times, please be
guided accordingly --

 

1. Discover the transforming Word of God in Lamentations (especially chapter 3), and Jesus' Prayer for Unity (John 17:20-21) which is our Theme for Year 2008, and reflect on the path God is leading you.

 

2. Review your covenant card and pray/reflect where you stand before God. Do not speculate where Manila stands before God, but seek where Thailand stands before God.

 

3. Pray, pray, pray. Surrender and offer CFC Thailand to God.

 

4. Seek to be with God. Seek not to be with the CFC International Council or with CFC Foundation for Family and Life. Avoid making emotional decisions.

 

5. Stop speculating and attributing reasons for the behavior of others, it is not charitable to do so.

 

6. Stop lobbying. If there is a need to lobby for a position, then it can't be
of God.

 

7. Stop trying to convince anyone. A person "convinced" against his will is
still of the same opinion.

 

8. Do not condemn those who hold to a position different from yours. They are still our brothers and sisters. Give them the benefit of doubt that they are seeking God’s will as much as you do.

 

9. Do not allow those in your household to bad-mouth anyone on either side.

 

10. Pray daily for the community, especially your leaders. Read the Scriptures daily and seek God's guidance for you. Review your position and discuss openly and graciously, without prejudice and bias, with your HH leaders (maybe after every three months or so).
