  • 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.

A teenage boy known for attending church alone, without his parents, had an opportunity to share the Gospel with his father after the church partnered with a national program to pay off around $8 million of the community's medical debt.

The Altar Fellowship is a non-denominational church in Johnson City, Tennessee, led by Pastor Mattie Montgomery and his wife, Candice. Montgomery is an evangelist and the author of Scary God and Lovely Things in Ugly Places.

In an interview with The Christian Post, Montgomery said a friend of his called to share that he'd had a dream of one day paying off people's medical debts. The pastor described his friend as a businessman within the community who "loves the Lord," and came up with an idea to help people through an organization known as RIP Medical Debt.
