  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Psalms 34 (select verses) “I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!” (vv. 1-3) If we are true followers of...

The Progressive Journey I often view this journey as a progression from me to you to we. The me stage appears to be ok for an infant. They need attention, nourishment, and much milk. Our Heavenly Father makes more allowances for me in the infancy stage. As we progress (and He expects us...

Dance of Fire This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” ~Jeremiah 18:1-2 I still remember it. It was at a time when I had accomplished just about every goal I had set in life. Then...
