  • 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

    Standards For Dating Too High?

    I believe in sticking to your standards, but you may need to look at lowering your expectations. Do I expect to find a man that doesn't have bad habits, or personality quirks that annoy me? No. But I do have standards of how a man can treat me and still expect to have me walk down the aisle to...

    Need advice please

    There have been men in my life that I came to love after getting to know them - but I also don't want to be with them in marriage for varying reasons. Another example might be coming to love a non believer and knowing marriage isn't wise. When you say it's illogical to you, what you are saying...

    No no, youre not the one for me

    Certain theological & political differences, disrespect, poor communication, lack of interest in study of scripture, overly interested in chasing spiritual 'highs', and arrogance are among the top of my NO-GO list. Also, cats. I have allergies to blame for that one.

    How do I respond to my 'divorce minded' friend?

    Sadly, since her husband was previously in leadership at the church, she's very uncomfortable talking to anyone there. Also, it was another member of that church who she believes her husband to have had an emotional affair with. It's a messy situation, but not beyond God's healing hand!

    How do I respond to my 'divorce minded' friend?

    Yes! Sometimes it's terribly disheartening for me to hear her go on like that as a single person who desires marriage. Her advice to me is always of the "better single than in a bad marriage" kind and I think.... isn't having a good marriage an option? She doesn't seem to think so. You are right...

    How do I respond to my 'divorce minded' friend?

    Thank you, I have on several occasions encouraged her to speak with someone locally, a counselor of some kind. She did go, ONCE, but said she didn't really share everything that was going on. I really wish she would keep going and be willing to be completely open.

    How do I respond to my 'divorce minded' friend?

    I have a girl friend who has been complaining and venting to me about her husband & marriage for at least 2 years. She's constantly sending me articles or little quotes to support her perspective that she shouldn't stay in the relationship. She claims he's a narcissist, autistic, alcoholic, into...

    Those who continue in known intentional unrepentant sin, will not ever be saved or go to heaven...?

    Hello, I'm rather new to the forums and so far folks have been polite here which I appreciate. I would like to comment on the chapter in Hebrews that has been brought up. When we read the chapter in light of the whole book, verse 26 is re-iterating verses 10 and 18 which are declaring that the...

    Continue to pray for my ex, or no?

    I very much appreciate everyone's thoughts and you can well see how I'm feeling torn. Wanting to always pray for those on our hearts, but also wanting to be cautious of keeping an unhealthy attachment. I'd hoped maybe someone could share an experience where their continued prayers for an ex...
