  • 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

    What's on your mind?

    I am sorry for how this has affected you. I didn't think of how it affects immigration. It is always difficult dealing with the unknown and things that are out of our control. Thinking of you.

    "date night" in lockdown

    What are you all doing to beat the boredom in your marriage during the pandemic? We have gone to drive-through restaurants, gone for drives, and gone for walks in the county park that is still open. We have watched more movies on Netflix. Overall, it hasn't been any different for our...

    Animal and Plant Protein

    I've thought about this lately. If you have access to an Aldi's store, many healthy foods are cheaper. In our local grocery store , the price of fresh spinach can vary from $1 to $3dollars per bag.

    Homemade protein bars

    I think that pea protein has gained traction in the vegan community. I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but working at reducing animal products. Do you consider yourself vegetarian? I probably will keep buying protein bars also because they are so convenient. The vegan ones can be expensive and...

    Homemade protein bars

    I made some homemade protein bars a week ago with pea protein. Turned out ok. I didn't use a recipe. I knew the concept because I had done it before with a recipe. I was happy with the ingredients because we had everything on hand: oatmeal, PB, honey, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, pea...

    Vegan Thread While Forum Would Be Wanted

    So I made the vegan breakfast muffin recipe from Simnett nutrition this weekend. There is no doubt that it is nutritious. I'm just not use to bread/muffins that are so dense. My wife says it is because it doesn't have 1-2 eggs. I like the fact that it contains pureed banana and date. It has...

    Should thanksgiving be a time of family fasting rather than family feasting?

    You know the saying, "for everything there is a season." I think it is pertinent here. The Thanksgiving holiday is tradition with its huge meal. If God calls you to fast that day or any other day, please listen. But I don't think we need to become buried in guilt because of our blessings...

    struggling with marriage (insecurity, jealousy)

    I'm not sure that the Christian counselor you met is your best fit. From what you have written, you may be depressed. A counselor that specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy and a doctor who would consider your need for medication for depression is what I think you should be looking for next.
