  • 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

    Why does Matthew 22:30 cause me SO MUCH PAIN?

    When I read the relevant verses in the Bible, it seems to me that it is God's will for us to marry and to fellowship with others, not to be alone, unless He has given you the gift of singleness and then you will not be yearning for someone but will be content in your singleness. Your misery may...

    Learning To Love

    Hi. Love is a language that we basically didn't speak in our house, so I never learned it. I'm trying and I pray about it, but nothing. It is too late.

    Adult Children of BPD Parents

    Hi DavinMochrie, did you ever get a reply? I hope you found the Lord, because he is the only one who can help you escape the consequences of having had a childhood with a borderline parent. He is a God of retribution who will repay in full. Many days, the unwelcome memories trickle into my mind...

    a male spirit in the home

    Michelle, you're a dear. I'm struggling with the mechanics and rules of this site. Trying to reply to PM didn't get me anywhere. It seems I'm still too new. I'll try to get the hang of it!

    a male spirit in the home

    Yes, I know. Don't like water myself! I'd rather fall out of a plane than sink on a ship. Not that I think it will happen... at least my faith is 100% sound in that area!

    Is 59:15 - whoever shuns evil becomes a prey 2 Tim 3:12 - In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in christ Jesus will be persecuted Not all persecution means being thrown into prison or tortured to death. A lifestyle of trying to be obedient to the Lord's commands never sits easily...

    Dealing with a border-line personality mother

    Hi Trish I'm so pleased to hear your testimony. It means a lot to me. Where would we have been without the Lord? He is our only hope. Yes, the tendency "shoot herself in the foot" and "cut her own nose off" is strong also in my mom. The irony is that we could have been the greatest of friends if...

    a male spirit in the home

    Hi everyone. Thanks for the advice. Having kids does mean that we also feel needy for them. Yes, thank God that He is there. I have been able to raise my daughter with his guidance given in his Word, knowing that I am leading her in the right way. Otherwise, I would have been the blind leading...

    Dealing with a border-line personality mother

    Hi Trish I appreciate your reply. I am interested to read your comments and admit that I am mostly in the dark with regard to my own mom. What I can say is that she might be borderline - she refuses to admit that there is anything wrong with her behaviour and there is no way that she would ever...

    a male spirit in the home

    Thanks for the replies and kind words. I have been alone for 9 years and very cautious about letting anyone new in. I know being needy or desperate is a put-off. I'm just not self-contained. I know the Lord is everything, I just wish I could hear Him, especially when I need answers and guidance...
