  • 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

    How do you stay encouraged while waiting?

    You're absolutely right about that. And I think that's a huge problem for people, we get married based on a feeling, which usually is just infatuation, and once that feeling is gone, there's no real commitment and so there's either infidelity or divorce. We never really learned the person, we...

    How do you stay encouraged while waiting?

    I know that's right. I feel the same way. I feel that if I can make a mental, emotional, and spiritual connection with someone, physical will come and the relationship will be just that much stronger. Makes sense why God would have people wait.

    How do you stay encouraged while waiting?

    Abso-freaking-lutely. It's definitely hard. Dating is super hard when you want to honor no sex before marriage. Well, more than hard, almost non existent, haha. I think at any age, sex is expected in a relationship, which could be a huge factor of why 1 out of 2 marriages end in divorce...

    How do you stay encouraged while waiting?

    Thanks for the encouraging words, definitely much needed. It really does suck to be close to marriage with someone and you end up with nothing....at least for the time being. But of course we as human beings find it hard to think more about the future than the present. I think our...

    How do you stay encouraged while waiting?

    I'm at a very discouraging point in my life. How is one to stay happy and okay with being alone while waiting for who God has for you? I thought I found who he was, but God showed my pastor different. It's bittersweet. And I know it's not just her, she is a great woman of God and things God...

    Crazy situation and need objective christian advice

    Honestly been praying about that one a lot. But I can't shake what I feel. Sooo, if we were to end up together, God would have to give me the words and the timing of what to say and when. Also, as crappy as it sounds, I'm not 100% sure if my ex is the father. I'm just pretty positive because...

    Crazy situation and need objective christian advice

    So the father of my recent child and me had a very horrible relationship. I was atheist the whole time until about the last 3 months and came back to God. He left me when I was about a week away from giving birth to go back to Tennessee where he's from and work a job where his cousin was going...
