  • 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

    "The One"

    I don't think anyone can really tell you. I don't think anyone can tell anybody else if someone is "the one" for them. I think it's something between God and that person (in your case, between your mother and God). The question I originally asked was if God tells us when we meet "the one"...

    "The One"

    Well the term "important" I think meant that she had a special place, a special purpose, along the path that God is leading me down. I think we've all had people in our lives that we just felt were more important to us than others, perhaps a preacher or a mentor that just cared about us and...

    "The One"

    I can agree with all of that. I just don't think God puts "the one" right in front of us, and makes us choose that person. I think opportunity (or opportunities) is the key word. I think He gives us opportunities to meet and connect with the person he has planned for us. But how we react to...

    "The One"

    This is something I've always pondered about. I suppose this question is aimed mainly at married couples or couples that are in a strong relationship. When you are in a relationship or pursuing a relationship, and you pray about that relationship, does God ever tell you that she (or he) is...

    Is It Weird to Pray Before You Eat on a Date?

    This is comforting, thanks for your replies. Like xfreakazoidx said, if it's really needed to impress a date, then she's not my type. I guess I was just concerned at how seriously someone would take me as being a Christian person, if I didn't pray at meals. But these replies have helped. Thanks

    Is It Weird to Pray Before You Eat on a Date?

    Dating.. Dinner.. Grace? This question has always been a huge burden to me, and it seems so simple. When you go out on a first date with someone, a nice Christian woman, at a restaurant, do you pause and say grace after the food is brought to you? For some background information, I live...
