  • 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.

    How to love you wife

    Definitely. I'm experiencing that first hand! That's why I love Piper's ending verse: The greatest gift you give your wife Is loving God above her life. And thus I bid you now to bless: Go love her more by loving less. Best advice!

    (S)independence

    I didn't mean this in respect to denominations, but personal growth. I attend a Non-Denominational church myself. From my personal experience I've grown tremendously more with a community of believers rather than by myself. I'm more prone to fail tests of temptation by myself where I have...

    Reading Genealogy

    From my blog. interested in feedback. One of the hardest parts to read in The Bible is genealogy. It bores me. I typically skim over it until I reach the next chapter. Ashley and I recently found a daily Bible reading plan in which we will read the book in its entirety over the next year...

    Robbing God of Glory

    What a Coincidence. These three words rob God of much Glory in my life. Last night I was woken up by a continuous vibrating noise. My first assumption was to check my phone, but it hadn't vibrated and wasn't set to go off for another hour. Ashley woke up immediately after me and we realized...
