  • 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

    Praise Worship

    If your music ministers/worship teams are doing their job right, there shouldn't be a conflict there... the music we sing should be Biblically accurate as it is. Our songs aren't worship if they aren't full of truth as well... Anyhow, neglecting any of them or saying one is more important...

    Derek Webb's Controversal song

    Whenever we communicate, we pick and choose our words based on the message we want to get across. It's not just an artistic/publicity thing. I can see where you're coming from because I personally don't like using words that have been turned into obscenities by the way most people use them...

    Derek Webb's Controversal song

    Of course you shouldn't go throwing the word around. That's not the point I'm trying to make. It's inappropriate for polite conversation or dealing with kids, etc. Context and audience are always important to keep in mind. I don't use such words either, just the way I was brought up. I...

    Do you find this song offensive?

    And God needs us to edify Him because...? Those words are correct given the context of the song and the point it's trying to make. What "context" are you talking about? The words are contextualized by what's around them, you can only take them out of context by putting them in context to...

    Derek Webb's Controversal song

    "Damn" isn't always an obscenity... I mean, the idea appears in the Bible, and depending on your translation the word itself could be used. Words are obscene when used to be obscene. A LOT of slang was created to be obscene and well... they're stuck like that. But a lot of words aren't...

    Worship songs you don't like

    That may very well be the intention of that line. But really the words don't say that. They DO make way too much of humanity and too little of God. Looks like the songwriter sacrificed good theology for a rhyme and a way to bring closure to the song entitled "Above All."

    Worship songs you don't like

    I could care less if a song is repetitive lyrically. Sometimes that's a good thing. Musically a lot of songs could stand some work but eh, I've learned to deal. Theologically is where our worship can NOT fall short. "Create in Me a Clean Heart" still applies, IMHO. We need to realize...

    metal and worship

    As worship leaders, the music we pick should fit the needs of the congregation. It should ALSO allow us, as musicians, to express our worship to God by enjoying and making use of the talents He has given us in a way that points others to Him. So yeah, if you are good at playing metal, rock...

    Do you find this song offensive?

    I'm not trying to be offensive but I think that mentality is just full of itself. If I, as a Christian, wrote a song that was not totally offensive and at the very least was not heretical, would it not be the work of a Christian artist... and in turn, would that not make it "Christian music?"...

    What is true worship?

    But there IS a need to enjoy who God is in worship- there should be an emotional side to our worship. Besides, what do we have to offer God? In reality, not much, and that's being generous to us. More like nothing. So yes. Worship IS about God. It's about how good He is, about how...
