• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Pray that The Holy Spirit comforts & heals all those affected by the deadly violent stabbings that occurred at a Shopping Mall in Sydney, Australia on

Lord have mercy!

I would like all my dear Australian friends on the forum including but not limited to @Paidiske @Xeno.of.athens @prodromos @Philip_B and all other Australian members to know that I am praying for them, that they are safe, and that I am praying for the victims of this terrible tragedy, and that I am deeply distressed by what has transpired and I pray for the safety of all Australians and that no further incidents of this sort occur.

God bless all of you, and God bless Australia!

It is the shopping centre where my Brother and his Wife normally shop a couple of times a week, however, I was relieved to know that they were in the bush visiting inlaws. It seems that the belief is that it was a mental health issue. It feels quite surreal, and this sort of news which is normally a long way distant is suddenly near and tangible.
