  • 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

    What are you listening to right now? (24)

    Maybe it is because I am the youngest in my family by far, or just like stuff from back in the day. It often seems I was born much, much too late. I just love the 50s and 60s era. Maybe because it seems so much more pure and decent and Christians were in the main stream, etc. I do not know...

    The 4 Dealbreakers

    1) Faith 2) Family 3) Finances 4) Intimacy issues (sex, etc.) Well, going by your list.... 1 Faith. Of course but, faith in Jesus Christ is not enough. The Mormons say they believe in Jesus but, it is a different one. Catholics/protestants believe in the same Christ of course but, there are...

    What's on your mind?

    Today, I started snowboard instructor training at my local ski area here in Arizona! Not really looking for employment but, it will be a good opportunity for me to meet more people with these interests, etc. I like to teach and can work well with kids, teens or men and women. I have...

    What was the happiest moment of your life?

    As a boy, I started having interest in cars, high performance cars especially. So, it was a big deal when I bought my first car at age 15 and then getting my license at 16. These were way more important than getting to legal drinking age, etc. I've been a car guy since I was about 7. Oh, I...

    Christmas 2018

    Christmas is always a special time for me. I had a great childhood with very loving parents and got great gifts so, will be remembering my family ( most who have died ) from years past. I still have a lot of my toys. It's also that time of year to get out and set up old slot cars or model...

    1 Corinthians 7:6‭-‬9.

    I think people can confuse this with Genesis verses. Of course, they are both valid. Whenever I get lonely or feel I should focus more on a relationship, I am reminded by watching all/most who are married. I see them arguing over most everything, making major compromises even on the...

    Salvation Army Church membership.

    I would double check their beliefs with Biblical doctrine. If they do not coincide, that is not the place to be. Show me where Scripture calls us to be in 'good works to stay in grace'. I'd be careful

    What's on your mind?

    Sunrise ski area here in eastern Arizona opens a week from today! This is the earliest opening in some time! I talked with the ski school today, they may want me as an instructor. I do not see myself good enough as an instructor but, they saw me ride last year and liked me. So, will look into...
