• 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.

  • 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

We have to learn not to criticize others; explaining the word of God makes some people angry, If that happens, leave them alone. Pray for them. Be sure to encourage people when they do good.

People who abuse their children and claim to be Christians are not Christians.

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Matt. 5:17 KJV

God is love but where in the Bible do you see where God loves us unconditionally?
God is a just God and he will punish the sinner! "For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity:" (Isaiah 26:21) Why? Because he is both Holy and Just and the person who sins offends God. God's Holy and Just character will not allow Him to ignore this offense. Remember "God is not a man, that he should lie."(Numbers 23:19) the Bible says "I love them that love me" (Proverbs 8:17) And how do we show God we love him? "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15).
If your mom is indeed judging according to the word of God, that is fine. Because the Bible says "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgement." (John 7:24) "...Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in judgment. Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord or God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts." (2 Chronicles 19:7-8)

God longs for people to repent because He loves us and doesn’t want us to destroy ourselves. He desires our good. Jesus went to Calvary to pay a debt far too great for us to pay, opening the way for forgiveness and new life. And as He forgives us, He calls us to forgive those who offend us.
