  • 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

    Children Ministry Conferences and Magazines

    Definitely Children's ministry magazine. The Orange conference in April (rethinkgroup.org) is one of the best CM gatherings, as is D6. Mark Holmen is part of the Faith at Home, and he does regional conferences.

    bulletin board ideas?

    That's a great idea...there are a couple of books from Warner Press, one is teaching off the wall, and all the lessons are done on a bulletin board. One caution, and if you know it just ignore me, but be careful to only use the campers first names, lest you have visitors. We have a huge...

    Need help asap

    I was curious about your question, and so went and did some research... here's the most susinct that I found. The infancy gospel of Thomas is part of the Gnostic writings. They contain accounts that are not consistant with the rest of scripture, and therefore were not included in the Bible...

    Can't remember the song

    The song that jumped to mind for me was "He could've called, 10 thousand angels". Not sure of all the lyrics, but it's an old gospel song...

    What is your best chocolate chip cookie recipe?

    the Betty Crocker recipe from her cookbook... the secret to it is to place all the ingredients in the bowl at once, and then mix by hand - really. the consistancy is good, and they come out really chewy.

    Kissy-Face Greetings

    I don't like the kissy thing. Either kiss me, or don't, just don't fake it. I know it's a cultural thing, and most of the people who bother me, are not from a country or culture where that happens. I'm not a huggy person either - big personal space issues. Hugs are for people in my inner...

    Performing Arts in Alberta

    I know there are a few children's choirs in Calgary...check in with the symphony to see if they have contact information. I suppose the opportunities are there - I'd see if the university, or the opera company have more information.

    Not Sure What I Should Do

    I agree with Rosearered. You need to get past this guy...he's in love with someone else, why would you pine, and want to wait for him. Chill out the relationship. If you can stay friends after a time apart, then great, but it the friendship fizzels, then it wasn't that strong anyway. It is...

    Women's attire in the bible

    There will be others who are able to be much more eloquent, and scholarly than I, but.. much of what you were referring to was put into place to deal with the way that women were using the public gathering to draw attention to themselves, and attract men. Jewellery and adornments should never...

    Can someone give me the reasons why knot to do Sacrament.

    the only time I have not participated in communion was during a time when DH was being badly (very) by members of the congregation who were attacking his leadership. I was very angry, knew I needed to be in church, but was not in a good place with these 4 goofs. I refused the elements, and...

    Should you use a rod to keep your son in line?

    A professor friend of mine put a great lecture together about this, and I'll attempt to summarize. Proverbs were written among a culture where most folks understood how the shepherd cared for his sheep. The "rod" was the shepherd's crook. Used to keep the sheep in line, and out of dangers...

    For a Man losing his faith

    Read the psalms, David knew all the emotions towards God and their relationship. You will find yourself in the verses, and yet, David never lost his faith. Borrow his words to talk to you Lord. He can take it, and know that He hears and cares.

    I need advice in a new church

    Oh my - my first reaction is "danger Will Robinson"... You are being attacked, and it's likely a self-esteem thing on your pastor's part. Did he expect you to forego your salary too, even though he stated you didn't have to? As for you wife's involvement. Her first responsibility it to be...

    Question about Tithing

    The tithe was put into place so that the local "church" would be able to function. It fed the priests, and saw that those who needed help would be able to receive it. It was our "rent", as presecibed by God. Offerings are anything over and above that. I heard a really great sermon a number...

    Im so frusterated and confused

    I am so sorry for what you are going through. The issues seem to be many faceted. firstly, is there a human resources commitee? if so, your hubby needs to talk to them, or better yet, to the pastor with one of them present. That behaviour is never acceptable. Ministry staff get beat up...
