  • 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.

    Could use some ideas for a name

    Like I said, this is an extremely odd age group. The whole point of naming an age group is that those ages will have something in common. Eighteen year olds and thirty five year olds don't have much in common. Further, they probably won't be looking for the same things in a ministry. Typical...

    Total Devotion - Starting The Group

    I can offer you one of my own written curriculum. It's twelve weeks long but pretty basic. Other than that, get a good curriculum bible if you don't have a budget.

    Another concluding school year...

    I'm just seeking and giving prayer for all those who are still in school with another school year coming to a close. Pray that we finish strong with exams, papers, and projects, and that we would complete all these things with diligence. :pray:

    High School graduate to youth leader

    It is important that there is a disconnect that one has from the youth group. An age difference is important in a leadership role of this nature. One of many reasons is that he will more than likely still be facing a majority of the issues that the current youth are, whether it be something as...

    Discipleship Versus Numbers

    Thank you for your response, Mark! But, can you explain to me further what your intentions were about the Seven letters to the Seven Churches? I read them all and I find that for the church in Smyrna God still offers admonition - Rev. 2:10.

    I am in the late stages of receiving a degree in Youth Ministry, and through my years of study one question still arises: Is a youth ministry about the number of people it reaches or the depth in which it reaches people? My former view on the question is that my purpose and calling was to be...
