  • 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

    What are you reading?

    Epicenter by Joel Rosemberg. A serious must read for Christians, especially in light of current (and maybe future) events in the Middle East, regardless of your political persuasion.

    What are YOU currently reading? (4)

    Epicenter, by Joel Rosenberg. While reading this book - a political and spiritual look at events in the Middle East - I was prompted to begin reading a series of four political thriller novels written by the same author. You really really need to read this book.

    Disfavor for Bush hits rare heights

    If Bush's numbers cause you concern, then the ratings for our Congressmen and Senators should scare you to death. :)

    Oldies --help please

    Sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear about what I need. I can remember the groups/artists fairly well. I just can't find the music to by. I was hoping someone could point me to a site that has some of them. Thanks anyway.

    Recepies

    Grilled Veggies Ingredients are limited by your imagination. Various combinations may take some experimentation, eg potatoes, carrots, broccoli are some veggies that will cook much slower than squash. Slice your chosen veggies (hint: if you choose a slow cooking veggie, slice it very thin...

    Question for Charismatic Christians

    Thanks for all the replies - and the thought that went into them. While I am and have been in agreement with the stance most of you take, I wanted to look at this with an open mind, which is why I posted in this forum. Didn't want my "Baptist Indoctrination" to get in the way of giving his views...

    Question for Charismatic Christians

    Sometimes I don't express myself clearly (I understand what I mean ergo others should :)) hence the name.

    Question for Charismatic Christians

    I recently spoke with a man who had some very different ideas on Spiritual Gifts. I won't tell the whole story here, but there is a lot more involved than the answer to my question. Scripture tells me "In many counselors there is wisdom" and that is why I am posting this. Now, I am a Southern...

    Anyone suffering from cicadas?

    Send me a mailing addy, and I'll freeze one or at least get the larval shell off a tree and send it to you. :) BTW, we call them locusts around here. Does that ring any bells?

    Strangest Places you've ever witnessed at!

    In a tent, on a fishing trip, to the only guy in my 8th grade SS class who could go. Smallest turnout I've had in over 25 years of doing that sort of thing. Can you say "God works in mysterious ways"?
