  • 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

    "Homeland" Security

    Jim, thanks for the kind words, the respect goes both ways. If we study up on what was meant by "separation of church and state" reading the papers of the founders one will clearly see there is NO such intent of separation in the Constitution. The phrase is "Freedom of religion", not "free...

    Female Ushers

    There is nothing scripturally wrong with women ushers. We have had a woman usher in the past, as a small church we take everybody that offers help within the bounds of scripture. The first job of an usher is to quickly and quietly take care of any thing that may be interfering with the worship...

    for political conservatives, what is the role of government?

    The social issues are not the responsibility of government, but of us as individuals and our social organizations such as churches and service clubs.

    Question

    Rom 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. Rom 3:10 As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; Without accepting the blood of Christ there is NO chance to have access to the...
