  • 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

    Thank you for sharing that!! I love writing, and I love poetry!! - I didn't feel it was strict, I seek honesty whenever I am seeking answers. I did feel some words I got were very powerful and of good source, but some were very all over the place- I liken it to words coming through on different...

    Insight/advice

    Thank you all for your input! I want to be clear I don't follow New Age practices anymore, and God used that time to bring me closer to Him. When you seek His Truth, you don't find it in that arena, however God uses all things to teach us, and call us back to Him when it's our true heartfelt...

    Insight/advice

    It's hard to pin point, I never actively or decidedly denied Christ or turned away from God. I have always wanted to be on the side of love, honesty, light, goodness, etc. I think my own fear, naiivete, and some denials/confusion are what slowly led me astray over time without realizing it...

    Dreams

    Yep!! I have clear memory of dreams I had many years ago, and they come to make more sense symbolically years later even. Only a few times have I been sure they are a message from God. Otherwise I don't try to think too much into it, sometimes they just help us process things, or understand...

    Bible Verse of the Day - June 16, 2021

    yes! I love relating scripture to true stories- it keeps it alive in another way, and re emphasizes it's Truth!! What a great comparison.

    The ministry of discouragement

    I think it is for some a form of 'defense' in this quite confusing, sometimes painful world. The mentality that nothing can 'trick' you if you're always cynical, or the mentality that if you're already low, nothing else can kick you down. I would just reply with something positive to counter-...

    (By 'some of them', I mean the writings- not occult practices *to clarify*)

    Insight/advice

    For some short examples/ reference: Thanks, I am human and flawed and don't try to hide that haha- I have unknowingly done occult practices because they disguise themselves to be 'for fun' or of/for the light. I of course always seek to learn, and adapt from what I've learned. -I will say...

    Insight/advice

    interesting- I will look into that. I definitely don't believe I am hearing from any 'dead' entity, nor do I seek to be. I will say one of the names I got was 'OSHO' - never heard of it- but googled it and it was also linked to the occult/new age. I didn't like his quotes which were nice...

    ( also I didn't mean to come off argumentative either, I appreciated your comment as well, I am looking for honest answers here, so thank you. )

    Insight/advice

    That is the very type of thing I am trying to be wary of becoming, thank you for sharing. I only have shared my words with my parents, I don't want to claim anything falsely or that can be misinterpreted. A lot of the time I feel they are for me personally anyway. Did she explain to you how...

    Thank you! it's a richer life with His blessings and gifts for sure. I just have to continue to pray to not get misled, or 'tricked' into things being from Him if they aren't- all the comments on here have been helping me to ask the right questions, and it's nice speaking to a Christian community.

    Insight/advice

    I do pray over them, and some of them make more sense to me when I go back and read them later, as well as dreams that have stuck with me, that make more sense now than they did years ago. I am not incredibly familiar with the Bible and have a selective memory, so I am usually stunned when...

    Insight/advice

    thank you! I had gone through a mentally abusive relationship, and a dark period of time so I hit a rock bottom/ fork in the road moment and turned to taking care of myself through these new age recommendations, which helped a lot to lure me out of it. I also did yoga daily, and have always...

    Is it? Where is more information on that? How did I 'get' it?
