  • 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.

    Character Transformation

    How are people, in general, and the church, and individual Christians being deceived today? We are deceived when we listen to and when we buy into the words of humans, or tradition, and we don’t test what we are hearing with God, in prayer, and in his Word. Jesus said, “You have heard… but I...

    They Heap Abuse

    The Lord Jesus led me to read 2 Peter 2 (Select vv. ESV). But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on...

    A People Divided

    There are so many things which divide us as a nation, as a people, and as the children of God. We are divided by hatred, violence, political affiliation, denomination, race, religion, social status, culture, belief systems, etc. We are also divided by greed, love of power, idolatry, spiritual...

    Truth and Lies

    Not everyone tells the truth. Not everyone can be trusted. There are many people who tell lies habitually, i.e. it is their practice. Many times they believe their own lies, too, and even if they do hear the truth, and even if they do acknowledge the truth some of the time, “when the rubber...

    Birthrights for Sale?

    The Lord Jesus led me to read Hebrews 12 (Select vv. NASB). Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord. In our pursuit of peace with all people, we must remember that peace with all people is not to exclude peace with God. In other words, we do...

    Persuasive Arguments

    The Lord Jesus led me to read Colossians 2 (vv. 1-7 NASB). We have been instructed in scripture to expect to be opposed, if we are truly following Jesus Christ with our lives. But, it isn’t just us who are being opposed, but it is the gospel of our salvation which is coming under fire, and from...

    Ignoring The Negative - A "New Age" Deception

    Most people are unwilling (and even unable) to talk about any subject that is "negative" or controversial. They will say that it is "unpleasant" or "unhappy." They don't want to "ruin their day." It upsets their "equilibrium" etc etc etc. Why is this? In the 60's, there appeared a cultural...

    What if the Great Deception was.....................

    How to fool a lot of people a lot of the time

    Be not deceived! Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (Gal 6 v7) For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind (Hosea 8 v7) The Bible does not reveal the more complex forms of deception because that would just up the game...

    Satan's End Times Alien Deception

    My encounter with an Angel? or Demon?

    Hi. I hope this is in the correct category. I need your opinions on something. Several years ago, when I was in high school I took a swim class, which was required at the time for everyone. I didn't know how to swim, so I stuck to the shallow end. When I was moving around, I noticed I didn't...
