  • 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

    Hi Kate, Have you read "Mercy for Eating Disorders" by Nancy Alcorn? Its a really good book that may share some Godly thoughts and insights to help you along the way, some you may not have considered before. You can check it out (so to speak) at Amazon.com, but you'll probably have to go Mercy...

    How to Grow a Youth Ministry!

    To "spiritually grow" the group like you want, solicite adults to step up to the challenge. You'll need a strong (and big) leadership group to grow your youth group right. Never grow the youth numbers for numbers sake. I'm glad you expressed that (in so many words) in your post. Keith

    getting their attention

    EXCELLANT thoughts starry eyed pea! "Distractions" will always be a problem. One youth group I worked with a few years ago was large, often 100+ kids, and it seems there was always some chatter or in-attentiveness during the youth pastors talk that distracted others, but he handled it well...

    Ethics...is this wrong

    Ditto PJ's comments above. Regardless of the young womans maturity level, its the maturity level of a 26 year old male seeking a relationship with a 18 year old that is VERY questionable, the responsibility falls on him, especially this situation. Am I safe to assume the age's were 17/25, or...
