  • 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

    Matthew 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’...

    Reformed. Does monergism apply only to salvation/regeneration?

    --Or does it apply to the rest of the believer's life? Monergism generally only refers to the regeneration of the believer being the work of God alone --that is, that we do not even cooperate in our own salvation by "accepting" or being an active agent in receiving the Lord. God alone chooses...

  3. What Jesus Teaches About Our Treasure

    What Jesus Teaches About Our Treasure

    During the ministry of Jesus, many Jewish people were under the impression that those who were wealthy had been blessed by God. In Deuteronomy 28, the Bible teaches that those who follow God’s commandments will be rewarded and those who disobey God’s commandments will be disciplined. For this...

    Exchanging Truth for a Lie

    This appears to be the third in a series of devotions the Lord Jesus is giving me on the subject of feelings vs. faith, and feelings vs. love for God and for others. “Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also...
  5. What Jesus Teaches About Prayer

    What Jesus Teaches About Prayer

    Prayer is an important part of our relationship with God; it is our primary source of communicating with God. Jesus himself prayed often, setting an example that we should follow. When Jesus was asked specifically how to pray, he provided us with The Lord’s Prayer. We are all familiar with...

    What Jesus Teaches About Showing Off

    There’s some extremely important teaching from Jesus that applies directly to today’s believers. This is a problem that is seen far too often among Christians. Remaining humble is by far one of the most important teachings of Jesus. In that regard, precisely how we practice our faith is of...
  7. What Jesus Teaches About The Law

    What Jesus Teaches About The Law

    In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus takes several of God’s laws and elevates them to a new understanding. Some seem to believe that Jesus is making it harder to achieve righteousness, but the truth is he’s pointing out the simple fact that we can never achieve righteousness without the Salvation...

    My Fault, but Faith

    Don’t be anxious about anything. This passage is so much easier to believe in when it’s just life. Life happens, no one can help it. Hardships, challenges, issues, etc. When life happens, don’t be anxious, present your requests to God. But what if you’re the cause of the anxiety? Recently...

    What Jesus Teaches About The Christian Persona

    Some of the most basic teaching Jesus provided is some of the most important. All believers know the teaching of salt and light; but how many of us truly take the message to heart and attempt to apply it to our daily lives? As ambassadors of Jesus Christ, we have to be aware of our influence...

    Faith in the living, resurrected Word (while the scriptures are only 50% historically accurate).

    This post is primarily for those who believe the scriptures (original documents) are an inerrant, perfect representation of historical events. Of course, anyone may comment. (This post may need to be moved, but I figured the topic would be controversial for some so I placed it here). Let's...

    What Jesus Teaches About Righteousness

    Not long after Jesus appointed his twelve apostles, he stood before a large crowd and delivered his first recorded sermon known as the Sermon on the Mount. There were a great number of people who were aware of the miracles that Jesus was performing and they were eager to hear him teach. The...
  12. What Jesus Teaches About His Relationship With God

    What Jesus Teaches About His Relationship With God

    I think most Christians have a hard time explaining the Trinity to both unbelievers and believers. Of course we can articulate that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one, but precisely how that is possible is not so easy. Even Jesus himself had a hard time getting this point across to the...

    What Jesus Teaches About Living Water

    The woman at the well is a familiar story to most Christians. In my study, I came across some details that add some texture to this miraculous and astonishing story. As you may know, for various reasons, Jews did not associate with Samaritans. Jews also believed men should avoid social contact...

    My buck and a half: if you've confessed your sin, but still doubt your salvation, pray for the lost

    Hi there, So this is a really simple trick, that I thought I might share - I have often struggled with whether I am saved "in the right way". What I learned was, once you have made commitment to take up your cross daily, actually your focus should be - for the most part - centered on Jesus...

    What Jesus Teaches About Truth And Light

    Jesus teaches that God has a plan to save mankind. Jesus himself is the crowning achievement in God’s enormously complex plan. Simply put, God loves his creation so much he sent his son to die so that we might live. Jesus was sent by God to save us. “For God did not send the Son into the...

    What Jesus Teaches About Our Spiritual Birth

    We all know the story of Nicodemus, the Jewish leader who came to visit with Jesus one evening. It’s not clear if he came in the night so no one else would see him, or if this just happened to be the time when Jesus was available. What is clear is he was curious to know more about the...
  17. What Jesus Teaches About Temptation

    What Jesus Teaches About Temptation

    We all deal with temptation on a daily basis. One of the first lessons we learn from Jesus, is how to deal with temptation. Temptation comes from the world, not from God. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from...
