  • 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

    Christianity's beginning?

    I believe the first christians were Adam and Eve. They walked with God and therefore they believed in God and therefore believed in Jesus.

    Exposing false teachers...

    You expose them by proving they are wrong thru the bible. You have to make sure you have a sound biblical base for your argument. If the bible says they are wrong, then they are wrong.

    Good meat in the bible

    Growing up in Redneck Mississippi with a Biker as a father kinda ruined my appreciation for poetry. But when I read some of Psalms, I usually try to take it verse by verse and figure out what David or the other writers are trying to say. Most of the time I just confuse myself.

    Do NOT Fear...

    Wow Dad, you sure put up a lot of verses. I have a twin brother who is about to leave for Iraq. My mom has been going nuts about it. I keep telling her to just trust God that everything will be OK and that no matter what God's Will will be done whether it is keeping my brother safe or...

    Family or Church matter?

    I say take her in, but only with the parents approval. With her being 18 there could be some serious legal issues that might be brought up. Has anyone sat down and talked with the parents about what they are doing to their child? I can't imagine a mother and a father that would want to create...

    The Christian’s Task is Not In the World

    My preacher always says that if God did not want us to spread the gospel, He would have taken us to heaven when we got saved. And I think this is true. Our purpose when we become a Christian is to stand against the evil in the world and bring lost souls to the cross.

    Mickey's Mantle of Faith.

    Personally, I wish everyone to be saved, whether they are 5 years old or a 90 year old serial killer. But that is just me.:D

    Texas Minorities Now The Majority

    To tell you the truth, the only thing that suprises me is that Mississippi and Alabama are not majority minority. I live in Alabama and grew up in Mississippi and I would have guessed that caucasion was the minority.

    Dubya Says Force Is An Option If Iran Continues to Pursue Nukes

    It seems to me that Iran needs to understand what Bush is willing to do. Obviously he is willing to turn to war to end threats of weapons of mass destruction. If I was Iran, I think I would play ball and let Bush look around as much as he wanted.

    Homecoming Day. What does your church do?

    We had homecoming a couple of weeks ago. We try and make it a point to invite as many people who have left the church for various reasons. Such as kids leaving and making a life off on their own. People moving away. and so on. We had a singing group come and lead the music. They were...

    The Date

    I was 16. Followed a girlfriend to church, since her father (the preacher) wouldn't let me see her unless I went to church. Jesus called me and I answered one night while I was there flirting. That preacher man aggrivated me at first but ended up saving my soul. Thank you Preacher Man.

    Jehovah's witnesses just came to my door

    I just wish that we, as Christians, would work as hard to bring people to Christ as the Jehovah Witnesses do. If a group from every Christian church would go door to door on a weekly basis and invite people to church, there would be a lot less lost poeple in this world.
