  • 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

    saved souls

    A guy I used to go to school with died this past Wednesday. He was 21. He had an unexplained seizure and that was it. His family are very good church-folk. Today was his funeral. Many people received the Lord beause of his death. I can's stop thinking about how God uses people, both alive and...

    despising the despicable?

    I just was studying Psalms and came across a verse that never really stuck me until now. Psalm 15:4 says to "despise the despicable." Basically, hate what is evil in the world. Hating seems to be a no-no in Christianity. Evil is the only thing that God ever tells us to hate. Could you honestly...

    shaky

    I have been a Christian for almost 2 years now. Doing just fine. But since August or so, I have just been slowly getting away from God. And I don't know how to stop. I still read my Bible every night and pray. But when I pray, it feels like noboby is listening, nor will God respond. It just...

    lead off the straight and narrow path

    Totally have this going on too. I think everyone at some point in their Christian walk does. You can't expect to be on top of the mountain forever, until you are in Heaven. I just try to pray more and focus on God more during those times of straying. :)

    rap song title?

    I was listening to AFR last night during their hip hop segment. And I heard this one song but did not catch the title. I do however remember somewhat of some of the lyrics. They are dead on, but they are pretty close. Does anyone know this song? "Cause when you got Jesus, you don't need to ask...

    Tattoos

    I would totally advise against it. I too thought it would be a good idea to get a Christian tattoo. I was dead wrong. As soon as I got it, I felt like the worse person in the world. It does nothing to glorify God. It was just something I wanted that was of this world. I still regret it to this...

    song title

    I heard this song on the radio tonight but I did not manage to hear the name of the artist or the song. But I did write down a few of the lyrics. Perhaps someone knows what the name of the song is? "Come to the sanctuary and lay down the weight I carry."

    endless

    It is NOT that bad. Some of my friends don't even think it is sin. But I knew it was wrong when I was doing it, so that makes it a sin. I didn't kill anybody or anything.

    endless

    Ever since I was saved almost 2 years ago, I have had a constant up and down struggle to stay close with God. I will be really close to Him for awhile, then away for awhile, then back close with Him. And I am really tired of it. But I don't know how to stop it. Is this a normal thing or does it...

    writing

    I meant writing out the entire Bible.

    writing

    I have been thinking recently of ways to study the Bible harder. It came to me that perhaps I should write it out, since I tend to learn better by writing things. Is this a good idea?
