  • 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.

    Salvos Stuck in the Past?

    It is just so frustrating!!! A very wise preacher once said, "staying where you are is just as bad as moving backwards".... I suppose every corp is different, but in mine all the "old" people are COMPLETLY AFRAID of change....and it is going to destroy our corp, and those in similar situations...

    Salvos Stuck in the Past?

    I have heard of Soteria Music Ministries and they are fantastic. However they are the only salvo group writing modern, relevant and very 'salvo' praise and worship that i know of. Does anyone know of any other groups that are? I would like to find out and give it a listen.

    Salvo thoughts on the Pope

    General Comments are better, (so long as people dont get nasty) because it creates more discussion and interest, as people interpret the question differently. Thus the reason for the question.

    Salvos Stuck in the Past?

    This is a little bothering - Officers .....25,792 Active .....17,199 Retired .....8,593 If half our officers are retired, then are we an aging army?, and is an aging army in decline? "relevant worship" I believe relevant worship is worship that draws the unchurched. Surely this HAS to be our...

    Salvos Stuck in the Past?

    Lets face it, that salvation army used to be a massive, radical christian movement at the forefront of evangelism, and a movement who was 'with the times' and new how to reach the lost souls. I think its sad to see what we have become. So stuck in the old ways of doing things. Sure, that...

    Salvation army and water baptism

    Do you think the salvos view on water baptism is corect? I am a fan of it becuase i believes it signifies something special. I agree that you dont need to be baptised to be saved, however i think it is important, and also a beautiful thing. ...and lets face it, Jesus got baptised too! I...

    Why ???

    the final point has to be that you need to go somewhere you are going to be challenged to grow and be fed what you need spiritually. If you dont get this then you need to move on unless your in a position to change it. I once herd a very good and respected preacher once say "standing still in...

    Youth Group being blessed Abundantly

    Thats fantastic to hear! but as you grow i do believe you are going to need a leader. Leaders are biblical, have alot of responsibility, and are accountable to God. I am in a youth ministry with 4 other leaders, but we also have someone in higher authority over us. I dont want to take...
