    Book recommendations for non-Christian grandparents?

    Hey guys So my grandparents (mom's side) are not followers of Christ. They took their family to Catholic mass way back in the day, but that's really been their only experience with anything resembling a church service. I recently had a conversation with my grandma when the topic of the...

    Living What You Believe

    “There are five Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the Christian, and some people will never read the first four.” ~ Gypsy Smith Jesus of Nazareth had the knowledge to respond to any possible challenge or objection to his claims. He could articulate exactly what His views were on any...

    How Does One Do This? (On a Blog)

    Yeah I tried editing it in Word and then copying/pasting it to my blog entry, but it wouldn't allow me to paste it. I think you're right Paul, CF's software doesn't really allow for that. Thanks for the replies guys.

    Knowing Why You Believe

    “Why should I believe what you believe?” Have you ever had someone ask you this before? I have, and if you don’t have a firm foundation for your beliefs, this challenge can shake your faith to its core. How does one respond to such a question? I have a close friend who is very skeptical of...

    How Does One Do This? (On a Blog)

    Hey, all you bloggers out there. Quick question. As I'm creating my first entry on my CF blog, I wish to insert an awesome image of some sort. I know how to get the actual image on the blog page, but I'm not sure how to adjust the size of the image. Most of the images that I get from Google...

    Question about CF Forums! Please help! : )

    Hey guys, do social groups still exist on CF (ex: "Morning Tea Club", "CS Lewis Club")? I was wondering how you can get to the page that lists the current member clubs on CF, and ALSO how you can see which groups you are currently a member of by looking at your profile page/someone else's...

    Living in a fantasy

    I believe someone else already hinted at this, but if he says something to you along the lines of "Heaven is a fantasy" or "There is no evidence for God", remember this: You have no obligation to refute what he said. He has just made a truth claim ("Heaven is a fantasy"). It is not your job to...

    It's hard

    If I may, I would like to recommend to you a series of sermons by the great Dr. RC Sproul, which are entitled "Keeping in Step with the Spirit". If you have an iPhone or any other device of that nature, download the "Ligonier Ministries" app, and it will be on there. You can also find it online...

    Ambassadors Social Group Discussion - Members ONLY

    Okay, well I hope everyone (whoever may be here lol) had a great Halloween! It seems that the rest of the group is unable to join the thread at this time, but I'd like to advance the discussion anyway. We’ve introduced the idea of the three ambassador attributes: knowledge, wisdom...

    Ambassadors Social Group Discussion - Members ONLY

    Great to see both of you! I'll have to check out those worship songs, I've been trying to compile a playlist for long car drives. "Be Thou My Vision" and "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" are two that I encountered while visiting my grandmother's church, their choir did sung both of them...

    Ambassadors Social Group Discussion - Members ONLY

    Hey guys, Sorry for such a late reply, I've been battling the behemoth that is my midterm project this past week, I've just now vanquished the beast. The productively of this group depends largely on how often we're all able to get online. That should be easier for me going forward, so I...

    Ambassadors Social Group Discussion - Members ONLY

    Well everyone, I think we've allowed enough time for any stragglers to appear. Hopefully others will show up in due time. Let's get down to business. I asked you what you think it takes to represent Christ to the world - in other words, what it takes to be a good ambassador. You all gave...

    Ambassadors Social Group Discussion - Members ONLY

    Wow!! I love all of the comments made thus far, it never ceases to amaze me how such small groups of people can display such a vast array of personalities/interests/hobbies. I'm thrilled to have all of you here. I think we'll wait a bit longer for anyone else to make their way here, I...

    Ambassadors Social Group Discussion - Members ONLY

    My fellow Ambassadors, What does it take to represent Christ to the world? What attributes/skills are needed to be an effective ambassador for God? How are we to reply to challenges raised by skeptics, especially when we're not sure how to answer? What does the have to say Bible about all of...

    Is there way to create troll-proof threads/forums on CF?

    Hey, thanks for the reply! I've created the group, but there's really no "discussion forum" to speak of. There is a message board to type brief updates and what not, but the format just doesn't work for in-depth discussions. Maybe I should just ask an admin or some technical wizard here...

    Is there way to create troll-proof threads/forums on CF?

    I use the word "troll-proof" loosely, because this is the internet, and well, no place is truly and utterly safe from those dastardly fiends. Anyways, I've created my first social group (hooray!). I understand there is a message board to post updates or what have you, but it's a pretty...
