  • 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

    Thanks for your help. I understand about the colour scheme questions, but the kids are fans of it, since those are the "official" colors of the ministry. I may lighten some things up to see how that looks. What would you think about some small sound loops that would go off when highlighting a...

    Okay, I made some changes. Ignore the quality of the top graphic. I'll redo it first thing next week. What do you think of it now?

    Website Check

    I'm changing the text to a nicer one. I looked at the page on a smaller screen, and it was kinda nasty (I've been working on that even before I read your review). I'll work on the menu highlights. As far as the colours go, those are our "official" colours. What would be a way to implement the...

    Anyone want to take the role of a critic? I've become the Interim Student Minister at my church, and along with the transition comes a different website look. Anyone who wants to offer any kind of criticism, please do so! Here is the address to the page...

    Discussing sex with youth and young adults

    It's not about how far is too far. It's about purity. Can you do it and remain pure to God, to yourself, and to your future self? Teaching sex to students is all about purity. The other stuff will follow if the students commit to purity.

    Pagan-Friendly Churchs

    The gospel should not be compromised no matter what. However, we need to develop new ways to reach out to the non-believing world and we need to come up with more relevant methods of presenting the gospel.

    Pagan-Friendly Churchs

    But the great chasm that exists between the church and contemporary society has to be bridged. This chasm has been caused by the church's inability to communicate the gospel effectively in today's culture. This ineffectiveness is often as a direct result of the social and relational gap between...

    Christian RPG's

    I don't have a problem with a lot of RPG's, especially ones on gaming consoles. To me, they are a lot like reading a book, but it is interactive. I'm partial to Final Fantasies, as the majority of them (except VII for some reason) were PG rated. In fact, FFX brought up several issues that...

    Webpage advice!

    It shoudl be compatible at 800x600. There's a java script that detects the size and sends you to the appropriate page... Unless something is wrong with my computer, I don't understand what isn't compatible! Thanks for your help!

    Webpage advice!

    What resolution are you using? If you are using anything from 1024x768 or higher, it should be fine. If you use smaller stuff, you don't miss anything important... At least, that was my plan!

      I made the changes to the Flash - if you look again, you'll see that the titles are darker. I'm still working on the pictures. The hard part is getting the size down, of course. (And I like the green, so I'm gonna keep it... haha!) Thanks for your suggestions and your...
