  • 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

    Some Reasons To Worship God

  2. Spiritual Wisdom

    Spiritual Wisdom

    The Apostle Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 is a prayer for spiritual wisdom – something we all need. Paul starts on his knees, demonstrating sincere reverence for God. He goes on to acknowledge God’s awesome power in our lives. Paul is asking God to fill the church with his presence, moral...
  3. What In The World?

    What In The World?

    This world has no excuse. The extraordinary complexity of the earth and all of its components, including all forms of life and all of the amazing forces of nature that work together in harmony, demonstrate beyond any logical reason that there had to be a designer and creator. Likewise, the way...
  4. We Can’t Be Broken

    We Can’t Be Broken

    God is in control. As believers, we know that God is in control. Even in our darkest days we stand firm in our faith, trust God’s mercy, and know without question he is in control. All of the weight we carry as part of life in this world is supported by God’s mighty hands. Our personal...
  5. Child Of God

    Child Of God

    As you well know, those who identify Jesus as the Son of God and put their trust in his death and resurrection as payment for their sin, receive salvation leading to eternal life with Jesus. The evidence of this transformation into a child of God and a true member of the believing community is...
  6. Jesus Can Be Funny

    Jesus Can Be Funny

    The Pharisees were well known for judging the actions of others. Jesus was not against judging between good and evil; Jesus was against assigning motives to someone else’s actions. “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.” Matthew 7:1 (NASB) Jesus used what I think is a really funny...
  7. Can You Keep A Secret?

    Can You Keep A Secret?

    I think we all have a tendency to want a pat on the back or at least some measure of recognition for the good things we’ve done. While this may be a natural inclination ,it does pose an element of danger to our spiritual well-being. There is a chance that we may begin to glorify ourselves and...
  8. Reasons To Worship God

    Reasons To Worship God

    There are lots of things that can distract us from worshiping God – a busy schedule, a negative experience at church, an inability to find the right church or group to worship with are some of the reasons many people cite. Some say that they don’t need a special time or place to worship God –...
  9. Mature Choices

    Mature Choices

    I came across this chart in my study Bible today and thought it rang true and might be valuable to others. The premise of the chart is that this is one way to evaluate spiritual maturity. Of course, what’s lacking in this chart is step-by-step direction on how to reach maturity; however, the...
  10. Are You Missing Any Of These?

    Are You Missing Any Of These?

    There’s a familiar verse that most Christians know and many have memorized. This verse sums up in one sentence what we are to be in Christ. This is a great starting point for self-evaluation. Using this verse, we can monitor our own walk with God and deduce how we are letting his light shine...

  13. True Knowledge Of Jesus

    True Knowledge Of Jesus

    As followers of Jesus Christ, God has given us everything we need to be spiritually mature; however, we must actively pursue that goal if we expect to be welcomed into God’s eternal kingdom. The apostle Peter offered us a single paragraph explanation of what it means to follow Jesus. “Now for...

    20 One Anothers

    A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. John 13:34 Be at peace with one another. Mark 9:50 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Romans 12:10 Give preference to one another in honor. Romans 12:10 Be of...

    Jesus Is Everything

    Those who spent time with Jesus were in awe of his presence. We too, should experience the awesomeness of Jesus when we fully take in the understanding that he was God in the flesh, walking this earth to share his love by going to the cross on our behalf. “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt...

    Prayers That God Does Not Hear

    “We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him.” John 9:31 (NASB) Those who harbor in their heart a love for activities that are contrary to God’s will have separated themselves from God. There is no connection. Their prayers drift away...

    How You Can Win

    We serve God by being in service to others. To that end, the apostle Paul wrote in the book of 1 Corinthians about how he adapts to his audience in order to remove any obstacles that would get in their way of hearing the gospel message. “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a...
