  • 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

    Vote YES for clean language here at CF

    I guess I don't see the trickiness of this issue....its not a word that uplifts and shouldn't be used at all. I find it very offensive and was a little hurt to see it used here because I just think we need to be pure in our speech.

    be submissive to your husband.....for Christian wives.........

    I'd also like to add that the husband's responsibility is much greater and weightier...he is to DIE for the wife like Christ treated the church. He has no easy role here at all. If you just focus on the word "submission" it may seem that way, but the husband's burden --if he is truly obeying...

    Christians have left a VERY bad taste in my mouth as-of-late......

    I love you! MWAH (that was a big kiss on the forehead). I know how you feel all too well. Cling to God, and have faith He will send friends who are real and supportive. BUT (always a but, huh, lol) often He will not send this until we understand we dónt' NEED these people, and that HE...

    Destroyed by "Word of Faith" teachings

    Don't be discouraged by "disputable matters" within the body of christ. This was something common even in Paul's day, and he said in romans 14 and 15 that such issues don't have to divide the body. As long as we agree that Jesus is Lord, we are bros and sisters. The rest are not issues unto...

    Hi! I noticed your name is redwings....are you in Michigan? If so, maybe you'd like to have a family to meet with every once in a while for encouragement and godly fun. Tell me more about yourself? What's your email addy?

    God failed me

    I, too, think that you may be depressed, sometimes depression has psychotic elements to it (not meant to insult, its just terminology representing a physical imbalance in chemicals).... Seek a counselor, and cling to God. This may be your "thorn", and in the end, when we stand before God and...

    I have a low tolerance of people :(

    I first want to say that I am writing this in love....I promise....I understand because I struggled with the same thing. But the reality is, sis, what you are dealing with is pride. You really need to tackle it like you would if you were struggling with a sin of the flesh, confess it AS SIN...

    Do you think everyone is meant to have friends?

    Pink, I totally understand what you mean. I have always felt that way...at least since becoming a Christian. You may not need to give up on the idea at all, but you may be hearing from the Holy Spirit telling you to focus on God. All things that are a blessing can be a distraction if given...

    Hurting at the hands of "church"

    Hello all, I am new to the forum, and have an issue that has weighed heavily on my heart for quite some time, so much so that I have found great joy in the prospect of sharing this with a family of beleivers for support, insight, and Godly rebuke (if truly and prayerfully received). Before I...
