  • 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

    Will you Forfeit your Soul?

    If Anyone Would Come Matthew 16:24 ESV “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me’.” This is the essence of the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for Jesus died on that cross that we might die with him to sin...

    Counting the Cost of Discipleship

    Luke 14:25-33 ESV “Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, ‘If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and...

    I Have Heard it Said

    I have heard it said that you don’t have to get your life right to come to God. While it is true that we do nothing in our flesh to earn or to deserve our own salvation, and that we can’t be saved of our own merit, or of our own good works, which are done in the flesh, it is not true that we...

    Save It or Lose It?

    Luke 9:23 ESV “And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.’” The modern teaching of today in much of the institutional church, at least here in America, is that we do nothing – no repentance, no obedience, and no...

    Are You Tired of Sin and Straying?

    2 Corinthians 5:15 NIV “And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” Why did Jesus Christ have to die on that cross? He is the Lamb of God who came to take away the sins of the world. And how was that...

    In the Way of Love

    Ephesians 5:1-2 NIV “Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” We, as followers of Jesus/God, are to be like him in character, mind, and heart. Our...

    Whoever is Ashamed of Jesus

    Luke 9:23 ESV And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” A lot of people get confused about God’s grace and his gift of salvation from sin. And, there is confusion about the gift of faith which he gives to us, too. Some...
