    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...

    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...

    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...

    How does one embed a video into a PM?

    Refer to the above question, please. I'm not sure if this makes me a noob or not for asking this, but I'm willing to handsomely reward whoever answers it first (in the form of virtually useless blessing points!). Thanks!

    Does anyone else blog?

    I've recently been trying to start up my own blog that focuses on Christian apologetics. My goal is to help both Christians and non-Christians think critically about the Christian faith. I applied for a blog on Wordpress.com, one of the few sites I've found that actually offers free blogging...

    How do I search for specific names on CF?

    Apparently I'm still a noob after 2 years of CF, cause I can't for the life of me figure out how to search for specific member profiles. Any help would be appreciated.

    Should churches offer Christian apologetic classes?

    For those of you who don't know, apologetics is basically the study of reasoned arguments or writings in justification of something - in this case, Christianity. Thus, it is widely referred to as Christian apologetics. This isn't a topic that is talked about much here, or frankly anywhere that...

    Speeches/Poems/Songs that inspire you?

    Okay so this really has little to do with anything with Christianity, but seeing as this is one of the more active forums, I figured I'd get a response fairly quickly here. I'm taking a speech class where our first assignment is to find any sort of text (short story, poem, song lyric, speech...

    A Christian man imprisoned in Iran for his faith in Christ

    Saeed Abedini, an American pastor who was preaching the Gospel in his homeland (Iran) was arrested and thrown into jail back in 2012. He has been given an 8 year prison term, which many believe is more than someone can survive in Iranian prisons. He reportedly endures regular beatings, brutal...

    Any college tips?

    This coming week marks the beginning of my journey through college, so it's a time of both excitement and uncertainty. I've heard lots of stories of young Christians losing their faith while in college, and given the partying atmosphere and multitude of professors who have been known to be...

    A seach for the truth

    I simply ask that you pray for me as I begin a long process of studying and research in certain areas of Christianity, that God would guide me and allow me to look for the truth without misconceptions and with an open mind. But most of all, that I put my faith in His hands rather than my own...

    What is the point of blessings?

    I just received blessings from someone recently, which reminded me that I have no idea what purpose they serve. I've been here for about a year now and still don't really understand what they are for...?

    Someone I care about has been diagnosed with cancer

    Please pray for her, both physically and financially. She doesn't have much in the way of money, yet she is always caring and generous towards others, she is a true Christian role model. Pray for her husband, who has to deal with both unemployment and now this, and for her friends and family...

    Where does one begin?

    Part of me really wants to become Catholic, there are so many things about it that are very appealing to me as a Christian (I have nothing against my current church, it's full of God-fearing men and women who have a passion for Christ just as I do), there are a lot of good arguments for it that...

    Any conversion stories?

    I'm curious as to how many here have converted to Catholicism from some other faith, whatever that may be, as opposed to simply being born into it. (I guess leaving the Catholic faith and then coming back would also count) If you've read my posts you know I've become deeply interested in...

    Is there a Catholic forum on here?

    I've been reading up on Catholocism lately and have become increasingly interested in certain aspects of it, and I'm just wondering if we have a forum on CF specifically for practicing Catholics, where non-Catholics can ask questions? I'm writing this at midnight cause I just got back from...

    I have some question for practicing Catholics

    Howdy :) This is my first time on this forum, so greetings to you all. Lately, I've been reading up more on Catholicism, and it has really piqued my interest. While I am not necessarily considering any sort of conversion at this point in time, I would really like to have a discussion about...
