  • 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

    Are You Engaged in Idolatry?

    1 Corinthians 10:6-7 ESV “Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, ‘The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play’.” I found this definition of idolatry online: “A...

    For the lonely and downcast

    Christmas can be an isolating and painful experience for many. I just wanted to create a thread for anyone who is feeling miserable tonight. It's okay to feel alone; it's okay to feel broken; it's okay to feel exhausted and stressed. Christmas is a time when many are forced to spend time in...

    "Cards on the Table"

    An Original Work / December 12, 2018 As scriptures teach, I don’t believe There is a pre-trib rapture. From what I read, I do perceive That we’ll go all together. For Jesus said we would be there To see the tribulation. And some of us they’ll put to death, But we have our salvation. But don’t...

    Why I Don't Celebrate Christmas

    It really has nothing to do with the pagan roots of the holiday. That is in the past. What I object to and what I believe God objects to is what is happening in the present. The Focus on Santa Claus For one, Christmas is primarily about Santa Claus. It does not matter if you have never done...

    Why was Jesus placed in a manger?

    We are probably so used to reading the story of Jesus' birth every year that we don't pay much attention anymore to the fact that Jesus was wrapped in cloths and placed in a manger. Of course we all know that it shows how God left His glory and magnificence to come into poverty and lowliness in...

    A Christmas Poem

    An Original Work / December 25, 2020 You say that Christmas is about Jesus, The One who died on the cross to free us.

    Christmas: The Birth Of Transformative Christianity

    The most powerful scriptures on Christmas you will find in the Bible are not just those that describe the birth of the King of kings step by step of the way nor are they the ones that tell us how the shepherds or the wise men brought gifts for the little one born in a manger. These scriptures...
