  • 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

    hit & run:Pls pray for a favorable estimate on my car.

    Please pray for a favorable estimate on the value of my car, so that I can afford to get a good replacement for it. I am a single parent and cannot afford a big downpayment on a new car. This weekend I was hit by a hit-and-run driver, who unfortunately completely destroyed the rear of my car...

    Decidedly Celibate Singles

    okay, the emphasis most people stress is that celebacy is a gift. Okay, but I believe celibacy involves a choice to obey God. For those of us who read the words of Jesus Christ carefully, celibacy is a scriptural choice that avoids the sin of adultery after divorce. I have been divorced, and my...

    Suggestions needed for reaching 50+ age people

    Okay, I goofed up. How to get the ball rollin' seniors... Hmmm, I am a senior myself, and yet I am single with youngsters at home. And you would have to drag me to seniors events at Church. Because I see them as fuddy, duddy cookies and coffee sessions, with lots of 'peppy' oldsters trying to...

    Suggestions needed for reaching 50+ age people

    Just by looking at the ages listed on "today's birthday" list of this forum, the average age of the folks on this forum appear to be about 30 something. So it is a lost cause to try to stimulate participation from such a scant group of subscribers. Only option is to recruit friends to come and...

    Any Senior "God Chasers" living in Tacoma area?

    I believe what some would call revival prayer. I also believe revival starts with the individual. Jesus promised us he would always answer the prayer of the righteous, expecially in groups of at least two. God managed to record several messages of hope for those that want to have a vivid close...

    Looking for "God Chasers" in nearby Tacoma

    I can meet in Kitsap, Tacoma, Parkland, Puyallup, Spanaway. We would just need to find a place. I think my church which is not far off the Tacoma 19th Street exit of Hwy 16 would be open to letting us have a prayer group there.

    The love of my life has left me.

    Sorry to hear of your wifes leaving. My wife left me 5 years ago, and never came back. It's gut wrenching. What helped me survive was a good Christian couple who had the time hear my story a hundred times over the next two years. Somewhere on one of the other threads I heard someones say...

    Need advice PLEASE

    I am not sure what you're talking about. However, I like Mr Becke's answer. Also, I am a believer in confessing what shames you, and I always recommend going to a professional christian counselor, especially a pyschologist (they really know the norms of human behavior) and tell him/her what...

    Single men being friends with married women??

    No, single men should not be close friends with married women, unless the men or the women are hopelessly unattractive, like with a huge disgusting age difference, or other hideous unattractive disparity. (said sorta with tongue in cheek:) Are these questions really helpful? Or are they just...

    divorced; want to remarry

    Lots of people who are in a pickle say they are trying to understand scripture about divorce when the scripture that they are referring to is so simply stated and easy to understand. And you can undoubtedly find plenty of support from other pro-divorce and remarriage 'scholars', some of which...

    Desperately needing Advice

    I would find (with God's help, ask for it) a good Christian pyschologist or counselor and tell him/her the whole business, then get advice on how to proceed with confessing it to your spouse. You will at least get that sin off your chest when you tell the christian counselor person to person...
