  • 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

    I've let a video game take over my life

    I'm just going to quote my brand new blog here, I only have so much eloquence in me in one day... but I thought about this place, and how I used to love this site... had to get my password reset, had totally forgotten it. It's been two years, to the day, since I logged in here. I can't...

    Can a Christian be a Democrat?

    I'm going to say yes, because I'm a Christian and I'm a democrat. I think if Jesus were here today he'd be feeding the poor, healing the sick, and taking care of the elderly. That's a more Democrat perspective than Republican. People get too caught up in the gay debates. (OK, I mostly...

    Congressman to be sworn in while holding Koran.

    I'd have to agree as well. It makes sense to swear on what you believe. If he swore on what he doesn't believe in, I'd question whether or not he was swearing true.

    What do you do when you're struggling with faith?

    Well, how could I turn down prayer offers from someone in a Star Trek suit! ;) :hugs:

    What do you do when you're struggling with faith?

    I'm terrible about doing "quiet time". I think that's my biggest problem, to be honest. I put God last, not first. I do everything else I have to do in the day, and then if I have time, I pray. I didn't used to be like that, but I'm like that now. I need to reprioritize, but it feels so...

    Thanks for the reminder. :) It really makes me feel better to remember that even Biblical people weren't perfect and they struggled and fell too. Thanks. *hugs*

    What do you do when you're struggling with faith?

    I'll pray for you too. It seems so much easier to pray for others than for me. *hugs* to you, and it feels better to not be alone, as much as I wish it were only me. Shalia

    What do you do when you're struggling with faith?

    I'll pray for you. This is SUCH a frustrating place to be in. I'm finding it easier to pray for someone else than for me. Shalia

    What do you do when you're struggling with faith?

    Thanks for the encouragement, especially the story of depression. I know I just need to work through it, but I honestly don't know HOW. I love the story of Footprints, it's been one of my favorites for years. :) Shalia

    Jesus did Lazarus no favor ...

    In the grand scheme of things, her entire sentiment was beautiful, though, and that one sentence hardly makes a difference. I think I'd feel honored if I were Lazarus as well.

    What do you do when you're struggling with faith?

    If you were told you caused someone to lose faith - what would you do

    Well, some Episcopal churches will let openly gay people be ministers. That's one of the biggest controversies in that church that I'm aware of. Another is women ministers, but that doesn't seem to be as big an issue.
