  • 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.

    I have anxiety. Am I going to Hell?

    Well Howdy! It sounds like you've talked to a lot of people - I would most humbly suggest that you let God talk to you instead. He's big enough to communicate himself directly to you. His word is His gift - and He will definitly reveal His heart to you through it. The only requirement is that...

    Panic Disorder and Suicide risk

    Hi Bribarian, I do understand - I've had the dark thoughts... I got to a point where they made me question my sanity. Dark & scary thoughts are pretty typical with anxiety. However if they persist - or get intrusive please talk to a doctor sooner rather than later. I can tell you...

    anxiety in stages?

    Hi Janny ~ I hope you're feeling a bit better :) When I'm really struggling with anxiety - I will talk to my wife and two of my closest friends. I went to a therapist when I first had anxiety - and that was fine - but not a huge help. However talking to those closest to me was huge! Talking...

    New Around These Parts

    As a Daddy of five I’m forever amazed at how deeply my children sleep. A freight train could run through the center of their bedrooms – and they wouldn’t stir. I on the other hand wake every time someone rolls over – or mumbles something in their sleep. How can they all sleep so peaceful...
