  • 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 try to take time off when the anniversary of my mom's death comes up. At least one day and I do the things she liked to do with me. Sometimes it's something as simple as going to the mall to window shop. It's not the same as having her with me, but it's a good way to remember her. This May is...

    TV Shows that Ended too Soon

    So many shows ended too soon, but thankfully they live on via DVD. Arrested Development, Firefly, and The Lone Gunmen are currently gracing my entertainment shelf...along with Grimm which may be ending soon.

    Is 40 young?

    Maybe because when we're younger we are in such a hurry to grow up we forget to enjoy life. I didn't realize that till my 40's...and that's why I have a Stormtrooper kite by golly :)

    How Do You Feel About Facebook?

    I use Facebook less than most but more than I should probably. I often refer to it as the root of all evil. People will post things that they wouldn't discuss in person on their wall for all the world to see and then get mad when people disagree with them. I wonder sometimes if the culture today...

    Being a champion for Jesus

    In church Sunday there was a little flyer sitting on a table. It said 101 ways to be a champion for Jesus. As I read through the single sentences on each line I thought "you know I kinda like this little reminder". I realized that even the smallest actions we make could have a large impact. So I...

    Volunteering in the church

    Thanks for the words Beaverpond. I too joined the church after I was already enmeshed in volunteering :) I try to stay focused on where God wants me to be. A few times I've been inadvertently redirected into another ministry by leadership, seems like that never works out. So maybe patience is...

    Is 40 young?

    LaSorcia God bless you for having a baby in your 40's :) enjoy every moment. I have a teenager and a 22 year old and while I love them very much...I sometimes miss the wonder and innocence they had as children (vs knowing everything now lol)

    Christ centered recovery groups in the church

    I agree Sam. I kind of think maybe the problem with some of these recovery groups is that lack of Biblical knowledge that sometimes comes out of the leadership. Sometimes it feels like the lessons are trotting out some good verses but not really digging deep enough into the word. Part of this...

    Is 40 young?

    Maybe it is life regrets that make us feel bad as we get older. I could of/should of done this or that when I was "younger". Maybe there are certain things you could have done better in your youth...but there are many things you wouldn't have been able to do as well too because you hadn't seen...
