  • 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.

Sometime ago I began to ask questions about something’s that mainline churches were teaching, like when we die we go directly to heaven. But then I think why? Jesus is coming back to take the dead in Him to heaven, then those who are alive will be taken up with him. It doesn’t make any sense...

The Bible tells us in several places how we are to give to the church. But there are certain ways to do that. "Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men...

It’s interesting when you ask God to use you for His glory. Because He will use you in ways that you can never imagine, I have asked for a Church to lead, he has been sending people who do not believe in Christ, who have walked away from the faith, or accepted Christ with lip service but never...

I met with a young man today, who is studying paganism or another form of wicca when I asked him why paganism he replied “It just makes sense to me”. So I asked how does it makes sense? He said well I have always been into nature, and the gods and goddess thing I understand. Ok but God is the...

Isn’t it funny how we are afraid of things? I mean some are afraid of the dark, others drowning, dying there are a whole host of things that we fear. In Bible times if an angel of the Lord came to you, the first thing you would is to fall on your face as if you were dead and tremble in fear. I...

While praying this morning, I felt this strong urge from deep within my being to groan, No I was not in pain, but there was something that I felt the Holy Spirit was……feeling, and that there were just no words to express what He was trying to convey, Romans 8:28 – “In the same way, the Spirit...
