  • 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

    Cronic Lumbar Pain

    I had a microdiscectomy in 2000 from a ruptured L5S1. It had ruptured several times over the course of 10 years and I have to agree ICE and Ibuprofen are the BEST lines of defense. Once I had the surgery I had no pain for four years but in 2004 it ruptured again. I would recommend the surgery...

    Has anyone ever not regretted abortion?

    Planned Parenthood is re-doing their store but I checked on it a few years ago and they were selling T-Shirts specifically to get women out of that mind set. The T-Shirts said things like, "I've had an abortion and I'm proud of it" etc... right now the only one they are offering is one that...

    Infant Baptism

    Well it is that "un-stated" reference that is shown multiple times throughout the NT that leads me to believe that it does have a lot of significance. When someone chose to believe they and their entire households were baptized, slaves and all. It doesn't say everyone of the age of...

    I feel I'll never find a church.......

    My husband and I are in the same boat. We've been seeking the right fit for us as well and the do's and don't's are just too prevalent in my area! We laugh because each new church we try... most of the time the day we try it out the pastor is doing a word study on "the tongue". If its not that...

    How to market your art?

    If you are looking to do commissioned portraits I did something that really paid off for me when first starting out. I went to Save A Pet (animal shelter) and asked them if I could take some photographs of some of the dogs and cats for portraits for practice. Well they were thrilled with the...

    Painting

    I am a total newbie here so it will be awhile before I could post any art. I do pencil portraits... don't have the time yet to learn oil painting since I work a full time job and when I'm home I'm always working on a commission. I was looking for a Christian forum where I could find other...
