  • 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

    Motive and Objective

    I'm a regular white guy but I really enjoy the 'black' mode of song worship, swaying and getting into it. But the question is, am I doing it just to feel good or is it happening by being by moved by the Holy Spirit, as King David was when he danced? Our natural tendency is to do something to...

    I have a question and I’m confused

    A lot of good feedback here. We live in the country and are a good distance from church. I believe it is important to fellowship somewhere but if on occasion it is not reasonable to get anywhere you can always stream a service or YouTube. One minister I like, long way from us, is Chad Lamb. It...

    Prayer request for finding identity

    The business of being a mixed race is something that can't be changed so the tormentor has found good ground to work on you but that is all he is, tormentor, liar, deceiver etc. You are your own person and God don't make any mistakes. If we can recognize that God is in control we can relax. I...

    Reality

    We have all probably read of cases where individuals have entered into personal relationships with Open AI sources and were lead off into a fantasy world where the mind was altered causing abnormal behavior. Some victims were saved by counter balancing feed back from 'outside' sources such as...

    The Redeemed

    There is a difference between being saved and the Elect. St. Paul talks about sitting in the judgement seat with Christ to judge men and angels. You can't sit in the judgement seat and be judged at the same time.

    Hello Everyone, Grateful to Be Here

    I've been blessed with a wonderful wife, family and grandkids. But blessings are not limited to things we enjoy but also things that cause growth. It is my desire to commit all things into His hands and leave them there. I find that in the early mornings before duty calls is the best time to...

    Perspective

    When Jesus called the Syrophoeinician woman a dog he wasn't just making that up, he was talking plain and she was no more worse than any of us. But when she didn't argue but made her plea in that context, she was infact accepting the Word and thereby putting all her flaws (sins) on him. If we...

    Resurrection

    I expect you would agree that a person must be born again, that is a change. True these mortal bodies cannot inherit immortality but scripture talks about being justified, sanctified and sealed in unto the day of redemption. So things are not static there is a process and that process is Christ...

    Resurrection

    St. John the eleventh chapter deals with the raising of Lazarus I don't think it has to do with discipleship.

    Resurrection

    When we think of the resurrection we usually think of it as an event, but in St. John 11:25 Jesus tells us that He is the resurrection. 1st John 3:2 says, 'but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is'. So we can understand that the resurrection...

    Wrestling

    We might think that becoming a godly man or woman just happens but let me say that they all started out just like you or I. Scripture tells us that Daniel prayed 3X a day and I'm sure it wasn't just a simple 'God bless my day' type of prayer, but instead a prayer that evolved out of much trials...

    Only Three Are Tormented Eternally

    Hello is not eternal, there is only one source of eternal life and that belongs to God. All other life is an allotment, forever is the duration.

    Wrestling

    If we want an audience with God we must keep Him always before us in everything we do. Jacob was in a state of anguish seeking the Lord. The meeting was not a mystery to him but a need being met. God doesn't change so the same principle applies to us.

    Wrestling

    Genesis 32:22-28 Jacob wrestled with the Lord. It wasn't a test of physical strength but an encounter for a higher purpose. The encounter is an anchor in scripture defined by a name change, from a deceiver to a prince. We can all identify for our old man needs a name change. We also must wrestle...

    Is loving God a work?

    Agape love is an attribute of God so if you have that you have an attribute of God residing in you. If you have a part of God residing in you then revelation follows and faith is a revelation. That love also casts out fear because you know who you are, where you came from and where you are...
