  • 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.

Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” When we think of light in contrast to darkness, what do we envision? Most of us don’t see well in the dark, do we? We might run into...

    Are we Waiting for Him?

We are separate from God because of our sin and we all fall short of attaining God’s divine approval and his righteousness because of our sins. We are enemies of God. We are destined for hell...

The point is that you can do this as a rule - that's what is new, it's not...
