  • 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 Church in Action

    What is “the church”? The church is an assembly of people across the globe who have trusted in Jesus Christ, God the Son, to be Lord (owner-master) and Savior of their lives. They have died with Christ to sin, and they have been resurrected with Christ to newness of life in him, created to be...

    Mega Church money video

    This video has a special interest to me since not only have I lived in Charlotte area the last few years, but I worked at the TV station where it was produced for 4 or so years (after the fact). Anyway it raises some interesting issues. It is a compilation of a weekly series that covered...

    Unity of Faith

    Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 1 Peter 3:8 ESV To have this unity that this speaks of, we must be in agreement, in harmony, and in union with one another. On a spiritual level, this comes from us first of all being united...

    What would you think of a non-Baptist pastor who uses the pulpit to make fun of Baptists?

    The pastor has a dry sense of humor and tries to be funny while keeping a straight face. Much of the congregation laughs, but not all. There's no way to know to what extent he's joking, or to have any idea why he's picking on Baptists rather than other denominations cause he never elaborates...

    What would you think of a pastor who used the pulpit to call an outside critic a 'moron?'

    The major church ministry this Christmas is to single moms in the city. The pastor decided to share some of the emails the church had received from people who knew about the effort, but were cynical. One man said, "How about single dads?" Another said, "You just want to get their money,"...

    Small church advantage: "Everybody knows everybody" but is that necessarily a good thing?

    Like a small town, do you really want that many people getting up close and personal? Where everybody knows everybody's business, such that if you tell one person, the smaller gossip mill makes it such that you might as well have told everybody? If even one sick man shows up and starts shaking...

    An introduction and a question.

    Hello -- my name is Jackson and I am currently exploring my relationship with faith and God. I grew up with no strict religion or belief system, but in my ongoing recovery work in AA I have come to believe that a relationship with God is as important as one's relationship with their mother and...

    Difference Between Church and World?

    What is the difference between the Chruch and the World? It is very hard to tell in these end times. Both love the same holidays, they love sports, they love game nights, love movies and television, they almost absolutely abhor holiness, same divorce rates, same fashion, etc. I know thia my stir...

    Have you ever kept attending a church while feeling you weren't part of the clique?

    What do (or did) you think while watching all the greeting and backslapping every week when people just saw each other 3 to 7 days ago, yet act like it's been months or years? Do (or did) they not see you as one of them cause you were just sitting there minding your own business rather than...

    Do you ever get tired of fat salaried pastors telling everyone else how they should 'serve' for free

    Especially when the part-time pastor is seen coming into the office at 10 am, taking a leisurely 90 minute lunch at noon, then leaving the office at 4. And you'd never see them volunteering if they were to quit. They'd sit at home on Sunday morning updating their resumes for the next PAID...

    Faith? No Logical Proof.

    Hi there. My name is Peter. I'm not really sure what to call myself from a religious belief aspect any more. At least not currently. You see, I grew up in a Christian family, going to church pretty much every Sunday, and then to youth group on Wednesdays. I'd go on youth missions sometimes. I...
