  • 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

    pushing youth to Jesus.

    A couple things come to mind off the top of my head (In no way is this a complete or perfect list, but possibly a place to start) Your personal walk with God always needs to be your main focus. It can be easy in ministry to worry so much about everyone elses need for Christ that you forget...

    Non-Christian Friends

    yeah, i agree, hello, how are we to bring people to christ if we do not befriend them? If I was not a christian, i would way more likely join a religion my best friend was in, than one that some stranger says I would join.

    Should American Christians be in support of government-run healthcare?

    I am Canadian, have been paying 22 dollars a month for health insurance for the past year, and then our system screwed up and I haven't had to pay a dime for the past 3 months. And I'm still fully insured. Yay for odd little things that we take for granted. JesusFreak, you are right that you...

    Interfaith Dating

    well exactly...like, why would you want to marry someone you're going to spend the rest of your life disagreeing with...If your faith (including religion, doctrine, traditions, denominations, etc.) is important to you, why try to assimilate it with someone whose faith is totally different? Even...

    Interfaith Dating

    I would take the 'do not be unequally yoked" verse a step further, and suggest that its unwise for an on-fire, passionate-for-God christian to get into a relationship with a 'christian' who maybe merely calls themself by that title because "my parents were christian" or "i was born in a...
