  • 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

    State of Music Ministry

    I agree that modern music is more relevant, normally. But the real problem, I believe, is that the Spirit is lacking. worship should be in spirit and in truth, not just in truth.

    House rules (for house church)

    House rules.... yes, let the host know if not coming, everyone takes turns leading discussions.... I really think that's all so far?

    risks of house churches

    Yes, that is the greatest risk - bringing the problems of the OC into the house with us. I have noticed that people are conditioned to what might be called "congregation behavior" which is passive and consumer-oriented. We have not learned in the OC how to BE the Body of Christ, every joint...

    What All is Worship

    Actually, a study of what the Bible has to say about music and singing shows that these things are incredibly important, valuable, pleasing in the sight of God.

    Favourite singalong guitar songs

    I have a theory that everyone with a guitar in Russia can play and sing that, whether they understand the words or not. :P How about this? hahahah

    Discussion Katt Kerr .. revealing heaven ?

    My spirit doesn't bear witness with her when I have seen/heard video clips of her. I just don't give her any attention.

    I don't see any evidence for prophecy as a "motivational gift"

    I agree with what you are saying about this part of the motivational-gifts teaching. Prophecy is, Biblically speaking, about unveiling, revealing things that were not known, often about the mind and character of God and sometimes about people's inner lives and about the future. Again, I agree...

    Prophets- Should Reformed Preachers Be Stoned?

    LinkH, it appears that people are misunderstanding your point. That's the problem with click-bait titles. They're distracting. :P I think your last sentence is your actual point: "Wouldn't one who believes that preaching and teaching is prophesying have to conclude that a preacher who errs in...

    Spiritual Dreams of the End

    I like Rob's answer :) I believe very strongly that God uses dreams and other means to communicate with his children. In this case, these dreams could have come from your mind being worried about scary end-time events. Some of the things you saw don't go with what the scriptures say about...

    Spiritual awaking

    Share about what happened to you. Speak blessing over others. Learn to hear from God and share what you hear. Intercede for the nation(s). Read scripture and meditate upon it. Love people who aren't worthy of love.

    What All is Worship

    While I believe that of course there are many things we can do to worship God, music is a very special one. That's partly because it has no measurable outcome - it is something that we do that simply pleases God; it's between us and him and is not a work of service, really, for another person...
