  • 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.

    Empty Feeling

    My two adult kids left my house this morning after a weekend visit. It's hard to explain but I feel void, or empty when they leave. Does anyone else have these feelings? The thing is, I live alone and am never lonely. I love living alone! So why am I so melancholy when they leave? They...

    Just wanted to ask Are you too set in your ways?

    I have been single now for 14 years and am loving it. Life being not single was hell on earth and it damaged me. I doubt I could trust again. I have become set in my ways and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to change that for anyone. I do get tired of people assuming that your life isn't...

    Loving others by forsaking the use of litmus tests

    Wonderful and thoughtful post! What a refreshing way to look at this issue. It is so true, we are conditioned to judge people by litmus tests. It is something I have been guilty of in my life and something that just recently, I realized about myself and have been trying to work on.

    Prayer Request for Anger and Bitterness

    Dear Msb23, My heart goes out to you! You have my prayers. I too came from an extremely dysfunctional family and I felt totally unimportant and unwanted, which made me extremely bitter and angry. When those bitter feelings surface, pray and ask deliverance. And also put them out of your...

    Any ideas about how to form over 55 fellowships at church?

    About 5 years ago I started attending a church I really like. It is a larger church with a lot of things going on. However, all the things going on are all for children, parents with children, or married couples and families. While I think that is fantastic, there is nothing for someone like...

    Foul language

    I go out to lunch monthly with a group of ladies. I am the oldest, the youngest two are 24 and 30. Neither one of them could say a sentence without the "f" word, and I mean that LITERALLY. I politely asked them to stop, which they did try, I give them credit, but it still would slip out...

    Is it just me??

    No it isn't just you. I feel the same way. We should all be looking towards Christ, not career politicians. God is Sovereign. He puts people in power for his own reasons, and they may be reasons we cannot fathom. We have to trust in HIM and HIM alone.

    Best way to handle death of non-believing family member?

    My brother in law was not a Christian and opening mocked Christians at times. He has since passed, and frequently my sister will say "I can just see Bill in heaven looking down at us". While I have no idea if he repented or not, it makes me sad that she, as a Christian must believe in some...
