  • 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.

    Do Not Neglect Koinonia (fellowship)

    For true disciples of Christ, koinonia (fellowship) is essential in our walk with Him in this world. Throughout the gospels we learn that Jesus set for us the example of this during His earthly ministry. The Lord made it a point to spend special time away from the crowds and this world to meet...

    How do praise and worship teams work in megachurches?

    My church is mid-sized, with about 200 people (pre-COVID, no one's there now), and we have a praise team with 7 singers (including myself, and I'm our keyboard player). I was wondering since a lot of megachurches also have praise teams that stay around 8-12 people each Sunday, how do they...

    Are You Seeking Fellowship With Others Who Live For Christ Daily?

    Are you seeking fellowship with others who live daily for Christ? Jesus spent intimate time with His true disciples to teach, guide, and love them. This was His personal fellowship (koinonia) time with those who turned their hearts and their lives away from this world to follow Him. This same...

    I praise the Lord for bringing my life into His living Church (Body of Christ) that are His hands and feet here in this world. The purpose of His Body is to make disciples of all nations while spreading His gospel and His love to this dying world. However, there is a distinct difference between...

    Is it pointless to designate offerings to specific sub-ministries?

    Why isnt it pointless to designate offering to a church or diversified non-profit when it just means that dept makes their budget sooner? I see it as an organized shell game by the powers at be, but I'm not blaming them if they're just doing what the donor wants. Let's say a children's ministry...

    Is your Bible a bad one?

    - So, why post a Thread about "bad bibles" in the "Deeper Fellowship", section? Well, if we have as our Thread's context "deeper fellowship with God", then that comes by having deeper fellowship with God, and God as THE WORD, ....and the word is the divine place regarding deeper fellowship...

    The Church Is Christ's Spiritual Body And Not A Manmade Building!

    Jesus questioned His disciples: "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." "But what about you?" Jesus asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "YOU ARE THE CHRIST, THE SON OF...

    How to understand : Grace

    The Lord Knows Your True Heart Condition!

    During the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry He had many clashes with the religious people of that day who claimed to be God’s people, but as was proved out were truly practicing nothing more than their own manmade doctrines and traditions in God’s name. You see, Jesus knew the true condition of...

    Walk In The Light!

    "And this is the message we have heard from Him (Jesus) and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have...

    Where The Answers Are...

    I was in my local Food Lion looking for my snacks. Couldn't find them. Wandering the aisles I finally asked an employee. "It's over there, " he said as he pointed. "You would have found your answer earlier if you had just looked up." I smiled. "You mean to tell me, if I had just looked up I...
