  • 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

    How can I die to self?

    Luke 9:23: Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up His cross daily, and follow Me.” Luke 9:23 NKJV

    How can I die to self?

    Yeah, that kinda threw me off too, but I think I understand. The Father does have authority over the Son, right? Correct me if I’m wrong.

    How can I die to self?

    Every time I pray for God to forgive my sins, I don’t (as far as I know) have any trouble confessing them, and telling God that I believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, but when I get to the part that says Jesus is Lord, I get this resistant feeling in my chest. No matter how much I want...

    Too cowardly to save

    I appreciate you Brad, and your family. I’m not trying to go around finding somebody that’s going to tell me lies that make me feel good. I understand that it isn’t easy to be a follower of Jesus; that lukewarm isn’t an option. I see how happy other people are, even unto the point of death. They...

    Too cowardly to save

    But don’t you have to be willing to follow Jesus before you can be forgiven? My will feels inconquerable

    Too cowardly to save

    I’m unofficially diagnosed with OCD because I show symptoms of it. I’ve recently started trying to get to church on time because I always fall asleep too late.

    Class 4 Addresses

    I’m reading the Security+ study guide (which is really interesting so far), and to cut to the point. How do you calculate an address class range (number of possible IPs) if that class does not have a network mask?

    Too cowardly to save

    It just feels like when I try to give my life to Him, there’s something in my heart that holds me back, and when I say it it feels insincere. I feel like a hostage to my pride.

    Too cowardly to save

    I don’t think it’s THAT loud, but hopefully loud enough for someone else to hear.

    Too cowardly to save

    I’ve started reading my Bible in the break room at work. Started today, in fact. I really hope something will come of it. Thanks for the advice

    Too cowardly to save

    But we’re supposed to let our light shine before men. If anyone asked me if Jesus is the Son of God (or put in terms they’d understand, Jesus is God, the Messiah, that He died as a propitiation for the sins of the world, and whosoever should believe in Him will not perish, but have everlasting...

    Too cowardly to save

    Because I feel like if I don’t, my faith isn’t genuine, and I’m just fooling myself. Or that God will be angry at me if I don’t.

    Too cowardly to save

    Like I said, I just get scared. I play my Christian music out loud hoping that somebody will strike up a conversation with me, but it doesn’t pan out like that.

    Too cowardly to save

    Over the past four years I’ve struggled. There have been several cycles of me thinking I’m finally saved, having every intention to tell someone about Jesus, then fail miserably, and eventually just go my own way. Then after a few months (or even a whole year) I suddenly remember that the...
