  • 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

    Matthew 5:42 and UK law

    Hello all, I wanted to get some points of view, regarding something which happened to me today. I am in the habit of standing in my town centre and handing out gospel tracts. i was doing this today. During this time, a man, whom is (kind of) homeless, came and spoke to me. After he left, a...

    Painful experience

    They fling out hurtful words, because they do not know any better. Does God revel in the strong pulverising the weak: marking out the territory that only the strong can enter, and pushing away the weak? I know that the Lord will destroy them and heap ruin on their heads; but their words pierce...

    Speaking to the Lord.

    I certainly do not intend to be confusing. i was expressing my recent experiences, and thoughts on prayer. Here is an explanation of the greek word used in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 for unceasingly: https://biblehub.com/greek/88.htm It seems that it can mean both 'without interruption', and it...

    Speaking to the Lord.

    Hello thank you for the message. I also am involved in the world and am not really close at all to a monstic life. i think i find what is happening to me is that i am praying more often as i go about my day, often in short sentences like, "Lord, protect me today, or, " Lord, i need you to give...

    Your words and the words of the Bible are not the same thing. Please forgive me, if i am not at the same level of understanding that you have.

    Speaking to the Lord.

    Did you mean to quote this, that you had already written, because it seems to me that you are trying to provoke me. I have also noticed that you seem to be 100% certain of everything you write.

    Speaking to the Lord.

    i dont mean to be disrespectful, and i may be off the mark here, but some things you have written sound quite new age(y). Do you think that we are able in this life to be able to leave our concept of self behind. It is my understanding that Adam and Eve fell because they disobeyed God. Therefore...

    Speaking to the Lord.

    Hello, thank you for your message and sharing your experience. i would say that i am not praying as much as you are. I will ask the Lord to increase the time i spend praying to Him.
