  • 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

Allen Jackson reveals how 'inadequate understanding of Scripture' drives non-voting

Allen Jackson is on a prayer-filled mission to help Christians navigate the complexities of an ever-contentious election cycle, offering advice on how to respond if one's chosen candidate loses.

Jackson, pastor of World Outreach Church in Nashville, Tennessee, saw his church organize a 48-hour prayer event over the weekend, encouraging believers to lift America up to God.

"We've been praying for our nation for weeks and weeks now but, as we approach the election, we wanted to make a bit of a more focused effort," he recently told "Higher Ground With Billy Hallowell." "So, we took out a 48-hour block of time."

I think it's good ... healthy ... to start talking about these things.

After the last rally last nite, knowing it would be the last, it felt very sad. :disrelieved:

We have now entered into the next 'phase', and soon one neighbor will be happy with the end results, and another will not.

Because myself and many many others have prayed much, and voted (or not), we now leave the rest to God and accept whatever comes. We trust God. That is the journey of the Christian here on earth; this world is not our home. And God will be with us, whether we are happy or sad during this next phase ...
