  • 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

    How did you end up leading worship?

    Two years ago I joined the worship team as a bassist since they hadn't had one in several years and wanted me to help make for a fuller sound (as we're a small worship team). I then started singing along as well, and then was asked to fill in as worship leader about one week a month so that our...

    God Chasers

    I was asking because I referenced two different books. I did have a copy of God Chasers, and I really didn't like it very much, and never finished reading it because I felt God keeping me from reading on. That's all.

    promise rings

    Hey, you don't want to rush into it either. I've watched people close to me get engaged and married either because it was what they wanted or they felt it was the time in their life for it. None of them are exactly happy with their marriages. Just to relate to you and encourage you, I want...

    What do you think of Switchfoot?

    We're not talking about sharing lessons, we're talking about significant points they're making. "Is this all there is to life?" (Meant to Live, Gone, The Beautiful Letdown) "Are you willing to reach out and find more?" (Dare You To Move) And still some lyrics are almost impossible to...

    What do you think of Switchfoot?

    Again, I'll state the most of the parables were spoken to those who wanted to listen... I like to think of what Switchfoot is doing as planting the seed of trees. You can put the seed in the ground and tend for it, but you can't make it grow any faster then God determinet it's supposed...

    What do you think of Switchfoot?

    I'm not completely sold on this statement. I think we forget that the majority of the parables and the things said by Jesus were spoken to those who were actively seeking the Truth. They had either heard about him, seen or heard the miracles he had performed or people he had healed. That's...

    promise rings

    To me, a promise ring is about the same thing as "going steady" or "being pinned". It doesn't say much more than "I want to go out with you and only you". That's good, but that's what dating is to me anyway. Along with that, it says "but I'm not quite ready to get married yet". So I don't...

    What do you think of Switchfoot?

    Just as walking up to someone on the street and telling them "you are a sinner...repent now and give your life to Christ" is probably not the most effective way of evangelizing to the unsaved, singing songs where God is referenced every 5 words (directly) are going to ostracize the unsaved. I...

    What do you think of Switchfoot?

    Some interesting discussion on they're message board though... http://sonymusic.infopop.cc/eve/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=8581093&f=405105313&m=960104494 But their lyrics definately are those of believers: I'll show you more if you want...:)

    P.O.D. False Prophets?

    I don't see those lyrics as prophetic, but as a statement of scripture and our calling. Aren't we supposed to be reaching out to all in anticipation of the second coming? Aren't we supposed to find the truth in the world and weed out the lies? Seems pretty scripturally based to me...

    P.O.D. False Prophets?

    Yea...they're Christian. I actually got to talk with them several years ago when they were on MTV's Return of the Rock tour with Staind (I didn't know who they were then), and while Staind played I caught them by their tourbus out back. It was shortly after Sonny had been on Politically...

    Is it wrong to move out

    No offense, but you've got to let go sometime. How many of those lonely freshman girls had a solid faith to build upon. c_vero00 is not talking about moving in with her fiancee or auditioning for the next Girls Gone Wild. She's talking about getting to the next stage in her life and maturity...
