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.

Should Debate be an Olympic sport?
They could do it like Chessboxing. Box for a bit, argue for a bit...then go back to boxing.

How do YOU spend time with God?
- For New Christians
- 15 Replies
What a great question.
I do something that not a lot of people do. I draw near to God in my heart and just feel love towards Him. And as a result, sometimes I can feel His Peace. Maybe it is a reward for loving Him? It's an emotional connection I have with Him.
You see, not a lot of people know that God doesn't respond to people that don't love Him. Love is key.

- By Michie
Chris Pratt, Mark Wahlberg, Gwen Stefani, Lauren Daigle, and Jonathan Roumie are once again lending their talents to help people seek God through a prayer challenge on the Hallow app.
Hallow, a Catholic prayer and meditation app, will launch its Pray40 challenge on Ash Wednesday (Feb. 18). On Sunday, Feb. 15, Hallow CEO and cofounder Alex Jones requested prayers due to “some crazy stuff going on [the] last couple of days.”
“About to launch our biggest prayer challenge of all time by far. It’s the best content we’ve ever had. Makes me cry just finishing listening to it one last time,” said Jones. Also facilitating the Lenten prayer challenge are Sr. Miriam James Heidland, Jeff Cavins, Fr. John Burns, Mother Olga, and Fr. Mike Schmitz.

Promise Keepers CEO Shane Winnings Among Those Alarmed by Frida Baby’s Sexualized Marketing
- By Michie
Frida Baby, which makes products for infants and new mothers, is facing backlash after images of its edgy, sexualized marketing went viral. Some people—including Christian influencers—are now calling for a boycott of the Sweden-based company.
Last week, social media users widely circulated Frida Baby advertisements, including one for a rectal thermometer that states, “This is the closest your husband’s gonna get to a threesome.” Packaging for another thermometer asks, “How about a quickie?” A Frida Baby humidifier box reads, “I get turned on quickly.” And an ad for a snot-sucking device explains, “What happens when you pull out too early.”
Reaction was swift, with people finding older ads from Frida Baby and flooding the company’s social media pages with angry comments. Some parents threw away all their Frida Baby products, with Christian influencer Brittany DawnNelson calling the company “demonic.”

The LION became a LAMB so that lambs could become lions!
Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed.” (Revelation 5:5)
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29)
The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion. (Proverbs 28:1)
Pastor, wife who used addiction recovery center as front, convicted of multimillion dollar retail theft
- By Michie
Robert Dell, the former pastor of The Rock Church in St. Petersburg, Florida, and his wife, Jaclyn, who used their faith-based addiction recovery center as a front for a multimillion dollar retail theft scheme, have been convicted and are now facing possible sentences of up to 150 and 30 years in prison, respectively.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced in a release Fridaythat the Office of Statewide Prosecution secured the convictions following a two-week trial. Robert Dell was found guilty of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Acts relating to a theft scheme from Home Depot, which the company suspects was operated for more than a decade and cost the company more than $5 million in losses.
Along with co-conspirators Jessica Wild and Daniel Mace, the couple allegedly stole power tools from Home Depot locations across numerous counties in Florida. "The stolen merchandise was delivered nightly to the Dells’ house and then sold online. The scheme generated over $2 million in illegal proceeds from 2015-2023," the Florida Attorney General's Office said.

Churches could run gov't supported ‘marriage bootcamps’ to 'save' America: report
- By Michie
Local churches could run government-supported marriage bootcamps for cohabiting couples with children in a bid to get them to formally walk down the aisle with the promise of a “wedding bonus” of up to $5,000, researchers suggest in a new report.
The report, "Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years," was published last month by the conservative public policy think tank the Heritage Foundation.
Highlighting the nation’s record low fertility rate, which was 1.6 births per woman in 2024, the report proposes ways to “remove the many obstacles blocking the formation of healthy families, to make marriage and family life easier, and to restore family to the center of American life in rhetoric and in reality.”
Among the suggestions to help, which is already drawing some criticism online, is the idea of government-supported marriage boot camps administered by local churches and nonprofits.
Before suggesting the marriage bootcamp as a solution to America’s family woes, the report makes it clear that the proposal isn’t completely new. It highlights that the federal government has been trying to support families through similar programs, such as the Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood grants, “to help couples to communicate better, manage conflict, and jointly support their children.”
