  • 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

    Romania anyone?!

    Salut! You live in Arad?! Ah, I love that city!! :) After I graduated high school in 2008, I lived in Arad for about a year, volunteering in a children's home. While winter isn't necessarily my favorite time of the year in Arad, I would give so much to be there regardless of the temperature...

    Repression

    Hey guys! You know how people say that they will "forgive, but never forget," or how you will always remember the hard times that you've gone through... Well that isn't the case with me, and it has been a reoccurring theme in my life ever since I was in high school. When life gets hard, I tend...

    drinking

    I am 23, and I've drank less than a handful of times in my life. One of those times makes for a reaaally funny story. Four years ago after I graduated from high school, I went to Romania for about a year and did some volunteering in a children's home. While I was there, my family came to visit...

    Is this normal for couples?

    Oh, oh, oh... another post already? yes. but something decent orange said reminded me of something. He said: An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is...

    Is this normal for couples?

    BMT123, I agree with this. Many people don't understand why masturbation is seen as wrong. In my personal opinion, our lives should revolve around one thing, and that is to bring glory to God. I see masturbation as wrong because the act does not do that. Jesus calls us to "die to ourselves and...

    Since my name requires a pronunciation guide...

    Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to your house. Knock, knock! Who's there? The chicken! HAHAHAH. I think the reason I find this so funny is a contextual thing, like a you had to be there moment. I am a part of the theatre guild at my school, and heard this sometime during a LONG...

    Mk & Tck

    Yeah, I saw that... but it's not quite the same thing. I was looking for a place that deals more with kids/young adults... or whoever really, that are experiencing or have gone through culture shock and readjustment and things like that :)

    prayer partner

    Oh, good verses! What does it mean for you to "trust the Lord with all your heart"? I feel like it means so many things to so many people.

    Romania anyone?!

    Daca este cineva aici cine vorbeste romaneste, o spune! If anyone here is from Romania, knows Romanian or has been to Romania... I am a fellow Romania lover!! :) My romanian language skills are a bit rusty, but they still work a little bit. Binecuvantii! (Be blessed!)

    Insomnia Forum?

    Hey guys, I have been struggling with not being able to sleep well for the past couple of nights... which is NOT a good thing for a senior college student during finals week... but I thought I would share something that helped me some! I counted... but instead of counting sheep, I counted my...
