  • 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

    Special Place

    I pray just about anywhere... its all good... but I love to go to my church when there's no one else around - like getting to youth group an hour early when there are a couple people downstairs but that's it... then I go up the the top of the balcony in the back of the sanctuary... that pew has...

    Liturgical Prayers

    haha... liturgy at a vineyard... that'd be... interesting... In my own personal devotions, though, I have an anglican rosary that I use every now and again... I find the repetition to be incredibly relaxing and often when I'm really stressed out, that's where I find peace... and I've found...

    choosing baptist over church of god/assemblies of God

    It's always sad when people throw the proverbial "baby out with the bathwater"... Just because you've had some bad experiences doesn't mean that every charismatic church is bad... My experience (and I've been in the Charismatic movement for 4 or 5 years now) has never involved anything as odd...

    choosing baptist over church of god/assemblies of God

    The Church is the universal fellowship all who claim Jesus Christ as their saviour - Baptist, Pentecostal, Episcopal, Methodist, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, or WHATEVER, they're all part of THE SAME BODY. There isn't really a set system or user's guide "choosing" one over the other... Really, it's...

    Passover

    Eh? Every calendar I've looked at has passover as this week, ending this coming sunday... :confused:

    Holy Oil

    That probably wasn't meant literally... Even if it was, don't let one person's remark make you think that the community "around here" doesn't have respect for holiness... that would be a far cry from reality, and an insult to many... As for making your own holy oil, I don't really know to be...

    Passover

    ~whines a little~ I don't get to go do anything for Passover this year, I don't think... I sent a card to a couple of my friends who actually celebrate it, but other than that, nothing... I even slipped and ate a piece of bread :blush: (But only one so far ;) ) ... I did make matzo ball soup...

    :D Divine Appointments... loving the world around us...

    I want to share with all of you a fun little thing God did for me today... During Bible class at school (my last class before lunch), my teacher went off on a nice long tangent about how we should be out loving those who no one else loves - not just staying in the safety of our churches...

    anyone believe in reincarnation?

    No thanks... I wouldn't call a believer in reincarnation a "non-christian" or try to convince them that such a belief would 'loose their salvation' (but then, that's just not something I do ;) ), but I don't buy it... Though, admittedly, the position doesn't so much come from a throrough...

    What are you reading now?

    I'm reading Blue Like Jazz, nonreligious thoughts on christian spirituality, by Donald Miller... It's an excellent book! If you haven't read it, go get it... It's a collection of this guy's essays & thoughts about Christian spirituality... He's completely honest and blunt about his struggles...

    Oldies, but goodies

    There are several that I really enjoy... At the moment (It changes every now and again), I'd say my favourite is "Here Is Love"... I love this song!
