  • 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

    Blasphemous evil thoughts

    From my own struggles and experience, I would suggest the best is to just try to ignore those thoughts as much as you can. When i am tempted toward obsessive thinking and habits, I tell myself that i won't die if i ignore them, because its true - you won't die. Ignore them - they get weaker, and...

    Urgent question

    We need to be open to a full relationship with God. It is Jesus alone who has paid the price in full for all our sins, and allowed us to have such a relationship. It might sound like strange or obvious advice, but I would recommend to smile more, even if you have to force it. I read articles...

    Does anyone have good advice for quitting weed

    God can truly set us free from any sort of addiction, we need to deny ourselves and hand our lives over to Him, trust in Him and be willing, and have faith that through Him we definitely can overcome these things. Hand the battle over to Him and trust in Him, through God all the things are...

    Losing the war with evil thoughts

    I can understand this struggle as well, what i find often helps is just to ignore these thoughts. Pray about whatever issues you are facing, and i would say also read your bible regularly to fill your mind with the truth. When you find yourself having these kinds of thoughts, instead turn your...

    Struggling with blasphemous thoughts

    I also agree with Goodbook and tturt, daily reading of the Bible can help to equip you with scripture in those times. I can relate to you, I know it is hard but I think you really just have to decide to not listen to those thoughts. Instead of engaging with those thoughts in any way, spend no...

    Feeling distant from God

    I think its important to just persevere, and keep up with the bible reading, and prayer and whatever else you are doing to stay as connected to God as you can. I find it always helps to affirm the truth of the gospel in that it is by grace that we are saved and forgiven for our sins, not by our...

Read your bible, especially the gospels, and fill your mind with the truth of the grace we have received through Christ. Also keep praying, and spend time in worship. I...

    Absolute Fear of Conflict, Is It Rational?

    I can relate in some ways to what you are saying. I think its important to always focus on Christ, it is by grace that we have been saved. He paid the price for us. We need to believe this by faith. We need to trust in God in all situations, give it over to Him in prayer, and not worry. So I...
