  • 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.

    The Lord has repeatedly HEALED me of desperate pain

    Here’s how i get deliverance from awful nagging pain. When i feel ongoing pain and have prayed and prayed, and the pain just remains, i sit down and confront it with the name of Jesus. Its so hurtful to think God just sits back and watches us suffer and wont provide an answer. But, if you...

    Why are you Christian?

    I don't ask to question your faith, I ask because you need to be prepared. So why are you a Christian? Is it because you heard a message and thought you couldn't stand to be in hell? Is it because you have been blessed and you want to keep being blessed? Is it because you want to do something...

    My buck and a half: if you've confessed your sin, but still doubt your salvation, pray for the lost

    Hi there, So this is a really simple trick, that I thought I might share - I have often struggled with whether I am saved "in the right way". What I learned was, once you have made commitment to take up your cross daily, actually your focus should be - for the most part - centered on Jesus...

    Fully Surrendered

    A Pharisee named Nicodemus came to visit Jesus at night. He began his conversation with Jesus with a statement seemingly intended to flatter Jesus, i.e. “to praise someone in order to get something that you want, especially in a way that is not sincere” (Macmillandictionary.com).
