  • 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.

    What's on your mind?

    I was listening to one of my favorite Kamelot songs, called "The Great Pandemonium", based on the biblical poem by Milton. Its about the fall of man in the garden of Eden, and the rebellion of Satan. The first part of the chorus goes: "On a silent shore I confronted fear I spoke to God but he...

    What's on your mind?

    Sermon this Sunday was on Mark 10:1-12. About marriage and divorce. The key thing that stood out to me was that love never fails. It is people, who fail to love one another.

    What's on your mind?

    Sorry I don't post more often here. My introvertness extends to my online activities as well. The begining of this year was a huge fall for me, due to struggles in mental health, with home life and my church life. I shared before I ended up leaving my home church. I had guilt in doing so...

    how old is too old?

    Question and advice needed. How would you advice a 12 year gap between two people. A women nearing 30, and someone who is 40? Too much of a gap, or would one have to look at the maturity between both people? My parents are about 11 years in age gap themselves.

    What are you watching right now?

    Been watching House of David. Not sure how I really feel about it. It does seem they are taking a lot of liberties to tell an entertaining story.

    What's on your mind?

    My adventures in finding a new home church has begun. I visited a small church my niece suggested, which was connected to the summer camp she goes to. She has attended the church herself. I prayed before stepping in for God's guidance. Was met by one of the pastors, but didn't really connect...

    What's on your mind?

    The person who told me, use to attend the church 10 years ago. One Sunday, they were reading the scripture to the congregation and had a vision. They saw Jesus outside the church, and asked him to come in. Jesus replied to them saying he was not welcome. The person then realized the people's...

    What's on your mind?

    Officially left my church yesterday. On Wednesday, my mental health was not good, but it seems it was more of a spiritual matter. After meeting with a friend for a few hours, I returned home. Then I suddenly felt like I have to go to the emergency and get admitted in, as I was feeling suicidal...

    What's on your mind?

    Thank you for bringing this up. It is a serious question I had to ask myself. Tomorrow I'm visiting a prayer warrior who use to be a member of my church. I have been in prayer to God about my issues. One thing that was brought to mind, is I am in bondage to a controlling spirit among the...

    What's on your mind?

    I returned to my home church on Sunday, serving to run sound. Originally expecting to also multitask and run the live streaming. One of the people I trained was on duty to run the live streaming, along an older lady, who I had been training, was brushing up on the skills. Despite that...

    Truths

    There was a sermon or short message I saw about the Tower of Babel, and two things I took away has stayed with me. First was they wanted to make a name for themselves by building the tower and being exalted. Only one name is great above all else, yet even today, ambitious men try to exalt their...

    What's on your mind?

    They are guest preachers. One of the people who gives sermons on Sunday mornings, at my home church, use to be a senior pastor at his previous church. He left with his family and started attending my home church. Normally at my church, the senior pastor would give the sermon each Sunday, giving...
