  • 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

    Does God change depending on circumstances (or, are prophecies contingent?)

    Hi everyone, does God's will for us change if circumstances change? Scenario: God seems to place on someone's heart (mine) to plant a church in Philadelphia (would involve immigrating). Several prophecies and words confirm this for my wife and I. They all seem quite specific and come from some...

    Planting a church in Philly

    Hi everyone, Two things. Firstly, I wonder if a 'church planting' forum might not be a bad idea? ;) Secondly, I was wondering if there was anyone from Philadelphia here. My wife and I are thinking of planting a church there. We are not from America but would need to immigrate from South...
