  • 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

    This is a bit of a confession along with just asking for advice. I struggle with lust and it's felt easier as of late to give in to it.

    How do you deal with an overly sensitive brain?

    As long as I can remember since I started my walk with Christ in 2021 I have had a pretty sensitive brain. I have said before to people I wish I could turn my brain off. My issue is my brain will latch onto the most small minuscule things that I'm aware of and magnify them and have me in a...

    The letter of the law vs the spirit

    I had a thought earlier today of following the spirit of the law and not the letter. To be honest I do struggle with just following the letter of the law and being unhappy and anxious because of what it causes me to do in life in regards to how to live it. I don't know if it's a good idea but at...
