  • 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

    Any Forest Lovers?

    I love forests. To me they are natural cathdrals for God's holiness on earth. We are blessed to live in Alaska and outside my home we have hundreds of trees. I love to backpack and hike. Love to be in the mountains and picking berries. I love trees... can you tell with my moniker? ;-)

    True Worship

    My idea of true worship is to be completely focused on Christ through various methods. Could be singing together or being completely still and quiet. It is where nothing else enters our thoughts. A Holy Communion between our spriit and His. A place where truly honored in all we do and all we...

    Loneliness

    I think even Jesus experienced lonliness. It happens to all of us. Some more than others. Let us not forget, I pray.

    Trees

    Lynn, I so appreciate this. Daily I have to place my trust that God knows the best path of me. The hard part I have is submitting to it. Thank you for this devotion as it encourages and reminds me. (Also like your signature!)

    Jail Ministry

    I can tell you from personal experience with jail ministry that it is much needed. Whatever you can do... do it. Inmates live 24/5/365 with nothing but evil around them. You care very much the only light of Jesus Christ they could see. So shine your light brightly and be consistent. They...

    Dead Worship

    Twoyears... I can totally empathize with you. I have been in a few congregations in my life where it felt more like a funeral parlor than a House of Prayer and Worship. Best thing I can advise you to do is to fast and pray for your congregation and if the congregation is a place where you...
