  • 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

    "The joy of the LORD is your strength" (Nehemiah 8.10)

    Psalm 111: Godly fear and reverence

    @Karin12414 's comment on another thread brought me to think about Psalm 111: 111 Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 2 The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 3...

    Isaiah 53: a tremendous chapter!

    "Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and...

    What is required to be a member of your congregation?

    While people from the different Messianic churches will answer in various ways - and good to go straight to the source, so to speak - a general definition would be that they would strongly emphasize the Old Testament passages speaking of Christ AND they would tend to emphasize Jewish heritage...

    Bulk shopping over the state line

    We sometimes buy vitamins and remedies when we are over the state line, shopping. You can make a lot of savings if you plan well for an out of state, out of province trip, to where the taxes are less. (Any one else do this?)

    Sending Christmas cards

    So it will soon be the season to send Christmas cards. Email has caused this custom to decline somewhat. But a lot of ppl still do it. I think it's a great way to keep in touch and to have the opportunity to affirm a relevant Bible text about the glorious Incarnation!

    Ecclesiastes: 'No new thing under the sun'

    This is a strong message in Ecclesiastes: there is 'no new thing under the sun'. It seems that the Preacher is stating the case of how things are apart from the grace of God. For those who love and trust the Lord Jesus, we have been 'surprised by joy' and 'where sin abounded, grace did much...
