  • 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

    How do you Release anger ?

    For everyone it's different. Sleep, gaming, and most recent I discovered the gym with my angry music. On the emotional side, being sincere and brutally honest how I feel about what I am trying to process. Talking it out with the Lord and trying... to pray as well to help me discover what is...

    Stripping of the Anointing

    Ephesians 4:30 NSAB 1995 "Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." We are sinners at the root, which means it won't go away till we depart our bodies. Even after salvation, we still struggle with sin, but we have the Christ with us to help break...

    How important is family church attendance?

    Sometimes having a tuff upbringing can be a dual-edge sword. It can teach you discipline, to get up and move when you need to. Yet it can be an emotional noose around your mind, preventing you from making your own decisions. One of the hardest lessons I had to learn after the fall of my home...

    I can't tell if I have hope or if I am going to hell forever

    Unpardonable sin seems to be a trap for a lot of people to get hung up on. Either the Lord God almighty is going to do a work in your life and save you from his wrath or he isn't. You are still breathing and on this planet, the Gospel is still translated into your language and its message hasn't...

    I am beginning to see a light.

    You have stumbled into one of the greatest debates in Christianity. Free will vs Sovereignty of God. Do you accept Jesus into your heart or allow him to save you? Or is your salvation a work that God chose to do in your life whether you wanted it or not? The real question is how bad was the...

    How can I make genuine repentance and become a true convert?

    I might be overdoing it, but sometimes music speaks to the heart more. I see you have been struggling for some time, so anything could help at this point. I am not a fan of hip hop, but I really enjoy and have been edified by this music.

    How can I make genuine repentance and become a true convert?

    Our salvation is a work from God, from beginning to end. Sounds like you are close, but the light of the Gospel hasn't overtaken you just yet. When I was in your shoes, used a quote that was shared to be a guiding light. "If there be a God, he would rather have honest questioning rather than...

    What this pastor said, was it bibically correct?

    Sadly the church is made of wheat and chaff. We can't purge the chaff because it will hurt the wheat. Those who are regenerated or saved are sheep in the Lord's hands. We are still sinners living in corruption and making mistakes, but the Lord in his grace brings us back into the fold due to...

    What this pastor said, was it bibically correct?

    Luke 6:43-45 NASB 43 For there is no good tree that bears bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree that bears good fruit. 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. 45 The good person out of the good...

    Christian only. At the end of my tether

    "I want to know love.." Hello Alex, I won't pretend to know even remotely what you are going thru right now. Out of your post, I can recommend this to be a starting point. This is my advice from my experiences. After I became saved, all I could think about was meeting that special someone...

    What would you recommend to an open-minded atheist who is willing give God a chance?

    Pray and give him the Gospel. Our job is to deliver the message, it's God's job to change his heart. If he questions why you believe the bible, use this. Voddie Baucham - Why I believe the Bible

    What does it mean to be "filled with the Spirit", and what are practical ways to achieve it?

    Hello Truthseeker, One of the traps in Christianity these days, especially in the Pentecostal movement is mentality of "haves and have nots". As others have mentioned before, it's all about your salvation. When we receive our new heart and we become regenerated by our faith in the work of...

    How do you hold it together?

    Thanks for sharing mnphysicist. Yeah, I have good days and bad ones. Today was a good day. Other days the little things that remind me of my wife start to trigger all the thoughts of how much I miss her and how angry about how powerless I was to save her. Then it leads to getting angry with God...

    God gave me a purpose I can't do

    Hi CFC, I am a cat lover too. I got two of them that drive me nuts :) "Do not worry" is extremely difficult even for people without disorders or disabilities. It is human nature in general that can get afraid of things we don't have control over. You are far from being alone in that, and no...
