  • 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

    Other than the Bible, what book do you consider valuable in your spiritual growth?

    Thanks for your recommendations! Sometimes when I look at the books in my local Christian bookstore, I wonder which ones are really Biblically correct. I realized that I did not share a few of my favorite books. A SHEPHARD LOOKS AT THE 23rd PSALM (Not sure of author) is good for seeing...

    How do I know if I have faith?

    Trav, thanks for posting this, faith is something I am working with and questioning myself. So what I am saying I am also saying for myself. Heb. 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. I think that we have faith, even when we think we don't...

    Other than the Bible, what book do you consider valuable in your spiritual growth?

    The Bible, I know, is the most important Book for our spiritual growth and development. But there are many good books out in the market, and I was wondering what book or books you consider valuable study aids in spiritual development. Thanks

    Second Chances

    Dear Lambs love, In principle I agree with you that we should make the proper choice first, and not flirt with hoping for the second chance. You are also right, that God's forgiveness does not negate the consequences of our behavior, that what we do does have consequences, much the same...

    is it normal for new Christians to have doubts?

    Thanks again, I have so much to learn, being the baby Christian that I am. I think the best thing is the fellowship on these pages. As Friend in God says it is nice not to struggle alone, and even Darkwolf says that fellowship helps. Messenger, so often I pray that God will help me open my...

    help me answer my kid's question

    My son asked me why, if Jesus died on Good Friday we celebrate Easter on Sunday. If you do the math, it is only two days, not three. He said, shouldn't we celebrate Easter Monday? Frankley I did not know what to answer.

    is it normal for new Christians to have doubts?

    Dear JoJoButterfly, what I had read was that Darwin was studying the shapes of bird's beaks, trying to find out how they adapted to their environment. Trouble was, the adaptation was supposed to be gradual and over time, with a gradual shifting of the beak shape. What I read, and I wish I...

    Soil Conditions

    Dear Lambslove, I loved your post. I agree with you, that showing love to others is the best way to let them see God. My pastor says that less said is better, that actions speak louder than words. I for one can testify that love allowed me to be saved. My sister-in-law is a born again...

    is it normal for new Christians to have doubts?

    I am so glad that I posted this question as I am getting a lot of things to think about. Fieldmouse3, your kind words mean a lot and I am impressed that you had the faith to pray through even when you were not aware of God's presence. I pray into a void, but I do pray. Nick loves Abba, I...

    Christians related to Non Christians

    Also, humor works. My husband is not saved, and my pastor said that it is important that I submit to him, as a wife should (not in any way not Biblical, but my husband does not ask that), and that my actions will speak louder than words. Once I was watching the movie on the book of Acts on...
