  • 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

    Secular vs Biblical 'I love you'

    Most secular dating and love stories make a huge deal out of saying "I love you," following the dictionary definition, "an intense feeling of deep affection." But the Biblical idea of love is more of a choice to dedicate yourself to serving others. How do Christian couples typically treat the "I...

    How long should friends wait till they start dating?

    Waiting too long isn't an issue. If anything, we went too fast. We talked about 10 hours in person and on the phone the first week. We talked about our likes/dislikes in relationships, purity boundaries, doctrinal issues, relationship backgrounds and money issues. Does that sound like enough...

    How long should friends wait till they start dating?

    I'm 32 and I've never been in an "official" relationship. I've been interested in quite a few girls at my church and Christian co-workers, but each one was either already seeing someone or weren't interested for some reason. It doesn't help matters that I'm pretty shy before I get to know...
