• 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.

This article askes the question of whether electronic screens have any
place in Christian worship.

A number of sound arguments are made by the author, for the (almost) total elimination
of electronic screens, during a worship service.

He could be talking a lot about what is possible with misuse of technology, instead of pointing to how God is able to have us using it well.

You might be able to use his reasoning to ban the use of money by churches > money can be addictive and distracting; therefore do not have or use money in church activities.

"But we can learn how to use money without abusing it."

We can learn how to use technology.

God is able to guide our attention . . . while we have technology, attractive women, and money present during worship.
