  • 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

    Thematic Bible Study

    Hello! I haven't done topical devotionals. My morning prayer time starts with a regular Bible reading, like Bible in the year or a slower version. However, in my daily life I frequently come across a problem, a question or a subject and I go to my Bible for answers. Also when I am wrestling with...

    Our pastor is pregnant

    I understand. May I ask if there are plans to move this relationship to the next level, a more permanent one? But about this "me vs. them" thing, do you think that she would trade a relationship with you for a relationship with her family? Of course not! What you two have is unique in the same...

    Our pastor is pregnant

    Could you please kindly explain OP. What might negatively impact your relationship? Close family, the couple having a baby, what? I am having trouble understanding your post.

    Coffee

    The other day as I was cleaning my house and dusting the china closet, I made a startling discovery. Cup on the right is circa 1800, mug on the left is modern. Are we consuming too much coffee?

    is it ok to pray for a Wife?

    Hello! Philippians 4:6, do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. "Wife" falls somewhere between ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. :)

    Panic over retirement decisions

    It's good that you are keeping this matter before the Lord in prayer. I always thought that DH will retire first due to his health considerations. But somehow in 2008 I started praying for me to finish well. At the end of 2008 I suddenly lost my job after 32 years of employment at a major...

    Panic over retirement decisions

    Hi, at our advancing age, living in a close proximity to family, grandchildren and church is very important. That should be one of the primary factors. As Dave said, could something be worked out in the city that is close to your grandchildren?

    Dining With Atheists...

    MM, Please remind yourself of these "job responsibilities" You, to share the Gospel, Holy Spirit, to convict and open the eyes, God, to judge. Just do ONLY your job and let the Lord do His. And be at peace.

    Why do other Christians hate Calvinist so much?

    Hammster, what you did is you lied, ignorantly, but a lied nonetheless. What I did is answered OP. Big difference. Perhaps OP was a genuine question, but it was hijacked and sacrificed at the altar of Calvinism. Unsubscribing as I hate to see the followers of Christ at their worst.

    Why do other Christians hate Calvinist so much?

    Hammster, I trully did not expect that bad tone will show up at the first response. Maybe you are used to talking this way and it became a second nature to you. But it's not nice. It's not building the bridges between people. It's tearing them down. We sat under the extensive teachings of...

    Why do other Christians hate Calvinist so much?

    I love Calvinists, but strongly disagree with Calvinism that teaches another Gospel, diminishes the completed work of my Jesus claiming that he died for only tiny portion of humanity. I love Calvinists, but strongly do not like divisive Calvinism. Nowadays they put people out of church because...
