  • 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 Humble Hackberry

    It has gray corky looking bark. Typically this North Dakota native typically grows 30 to 50 feet. It seldom grows in pure stands because it is not a very strong competitor. It is often mistaken for the American Elm but it lacks the lovely vase shape and does not turn yellow in the fall, but...

    God chose the weak of the world to shame the wise (and not so wise)

    The readings for this Sunday and last Sunday (Jan. 29) really speak to us, as if they were written for and about our own times. Here is Isaiah from 2/5: Isaiah 58: 7-10 "Thus says the LORD: Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see...
