  • 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

    Name a Preacher/Priest of the Past

    I've always found the transcripts of Smith Wigglesworth's teachings to be very encouraging. During his ministry, his wife transcribed many of his sermons, and many of those can be found online.

    What Do You Think Heaven is Like?

    Jesus said to the man on the cross next to Him: Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Beyond anything that I can imagine! But I know that it will be, "Paradise."

    Regarding the Written Word

    ramblingokie, I hear you! I used to have a very difficult time with John Ch. 6. It is an example of the, "hard sayings." At the end of that chapter, many of the disciples turned away and stopped walking with Jesus. John 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more...

    Regarding the Written Word

    Stormdancer, I've also heard a few say, "it was written by man." I find it wonderful and amazing that God used men to write His instruction. He used people (Who are not so different from us,) to teach people! He sent His own son in the likeness of men! Philippians 2:7 But made himself of no...

    Regarding the Written Word

    A few years ago I was invited to visit a church near the town where I lived at that time. I asked the person who invited me if the church had a website where I could read about the denomination and perhaps listen to a few sermons. They did have a website and I spent a few hours there listening...

    Does anyone else have this feeling....

    This is what the scriptures tell us about these things. James 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the...

    Lying Lips

    Good message Christsfreeservant, "God often allows such trials into our lives to test our faith so that we might not rely on ourselves but on God. He uses these times of great difficulty and/or persecutions in order to strengthen our faith and resolve to follow him in all things, and to get...

    It Is Written

    I wanted to add another verse regarding our study of the word. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of...

    It Is Written

    It Is Written Psalms 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. After Jesus had risen from the dead He met two of His disciples on the road to Emmaus. In this passage there is a picture and an example of how we study the written word of...

    What is True?

    That is where my heart has been for the past few years, the application of the word through faith and trust in Jesus, the way the truth and the life. James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. James 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a...

    Biblical Food

    The bible uses different types of foods in several instances to give us a picture of heavenly/spiritual food and earthy/natural food. There is bread (both leavened and unleavened.) There is fruit (both natural and the fruit of the spirit.) There is meat, (both good meat and meat that...
