  • 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

    jcyami27, I see the grace of God given to you in that you are happy and enjoying your life as a single. You say you have learned to live in the moment; I believe it is important for all believer's to live in the moment ... not looking back wishing it were different ... Christ died for that...

    Being Single

    alt6199 If there is one thing I am seeing through people's answers it's that being single means something different for each one. It's very sad to know that people have made you feel guilty for being content with being single. As you say you have not ruled out marriage but you are not...

    AndiGirl, Thank you so much for answering my question. Your heart for God beats passionately and I see that. Even as Paul wrote about contentment, you too have learned to be content in whatever state you find yourself. Not only are you content but you see the advantages of the freedom you now...

    dayhiker, I hear you ... we all have different temperaments ranging from impulsive and quick to answer to those who need time to mull things over. I appreciate the heads up ... I will be alert to any who may need an opportunity to discuss it again at a later time. Thank you and God Bless you!

    Javanwarbler, Oh no, your comments are very appreciated. You are uniquely YOU and I like the person I see. In my opinion bluntness is always good as you don't have to guess at what a person is saying. I see what you mean about there being many kinds of singles. I appreciate your advice on...

    dayhiker, Could you expound on that last comment. I'm not quite getting what you mean. I may be a 'little' blonde here. Thank you!

    Being Single

    Javanwarbler, It has taken me a while to address all of these wonderful insights and comments because I have had the flu. I am curious about why you think their are things about you personally that keep you from fitting in. If you don't want to share, it's perfectly fine. I have always...

    Being Single

    Dayhiker and memories, Lots of ways to look at the opportunity before me. I surely don't want to cop out and I'm not afraid of a bag of worms. The idea of being transparent and communicating that I am not there to give advice but perhaps facilitate a discussion may be the best way to go. I...
