  • 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

    Christmas Market in Germany Cancelled due to Islam

    This headline isn't accurate and the source is incorrect here--my group was just there in Overath very recently on a joint German-French mission team-up and the actual reason is much more prosaic, ie. just that Overath is right next door to Cologne that has a very large Weihnachtsmarkt...

    Please help to ignite the Great Re-Awakening in Europe

    This is speaking our language too. I'm part of another one of those small inter-church groups across several states in the US, in our case with a focus on France missions and a couple surrounding countries when we ourselves make the transplant to live in Europe over the next 2-3 years. Even...

    “Useless” hobbies may be vital for your health and holiness

    I have to admit I've given that answer more than once to the songs I like to listen to! Always have this sense that I'm waaay behind on the latest trends.
