  • 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 Im thinking about walking away from god...

    Wow, a lot of replies. Can I just say, I don't want to have to do this, I really don't, but I'm sure you can imagine, there is only so much that one person can take before they have to say enough is enough. The fact is, God makes a lot of promises, and I believe he keeps them, just not with me...

    why Im thinking about walking away from god...

    So I know exactly what you're thinking, another whiney emo post by someone going "waaah, my life isn't perfect, god's to blame, sod him".

    Would you please pray for me this weekend?

    Dear all SInce my last prayer post, things have not improved, they have gotten steadily worse. I'm in a position where my faith is crumbling away day by day because the God I know is real does not match what I see in my life and the lives of those around me. I feel like I'm running on empty...

    Will you stand with me in prayer?

    Hi guys Recently, what I see with my eyes and what I feel in my heart do not match what I think God is. When I look at my life nd how things have turned out and how they are going, it's a far cry from things I read such as Habakkuk 1:5 and that bread and scorpions bit in Luke. Basically I'm at...

    My church is having an internship that I am wanting to join

    Is it possible, just maybe, that it was human error on the part of the speaker? Or a lack of communication in the church between service leaders and those handing out the forms? I think if you peel back the layers, you'll find theres nothing substancial to it, no hidden agenda and no Alex Jones...

    "I speak my mind/I'm Honest": Is it an excuse to be insensitive?

    So recently I've met a few Christians who are very vocal and very forthright with their opinions. I get that it's good to be honest and good to be open with people. My struggle is this. I find people who claim to "speak their minds" to just use it an excuse to behave like an insensitive tool...

    Is hynosis of the occult

    I'm a big subscriber to Watchman Nee's philosophy about Hypnosis and such, which claims its not of the occult, but still to be avoided.
