  • 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

    Deacons & Pastors

    Thanks for your comments Ted. We have a few men in our church that seem to fit the qualifications of a Deacon but early in their life they went through a divorce. If they have repented of their sins and got their relationship right with the Lord is it OK for them to serve in the position of...

    Deacons & Pastors

    I have a question- Should you be allowed to be Ordained as a Deacon in a Baptist church if you have been divorced before? The Bible makes the point of "husband of one wife". So is it Ok if you divorced your wife on biblical grounds. Also what about a Pastor?

    Pastor needs to retire?

    Is it respectful to ask your pastor to retire if he is not being the Spiritual Leader that your Church feels it needs. We want to do God's will. And we don't want to hurt our pastor. Or should we wait till the Lord tells him it is time to move on.

    Is Bipolar passed on

    I have a friend who married a nice lady and her mother is Bipolar. She seems to do very well and takes her medicine properly. My question is does this illness pass from one generation to the next? What are the first signs of any problems? Should they have their children checked for the...

    Age gap

    I think it depends on at what point in life you are at. If you are 24 and your future wife is 14 I think that could spell trouble. If you are 34 and your girlfriend is 24 I think that would be more in line. Most guys I know would not let their 14 year old daughters date a man that is 24.
