  • 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

    Serve!

    Status: I think God's giving me a push... What CAN we do when it seems that God isn't answering our prayers? What CAN we do when the months pass and the disappointment becomes unbearable? What CAN we do while we "wait on the Lord"? We can do what God has been telling his people to do for...

    The four types of financial giving in the Bible

    Money in itself, is not good or bad. The way it is used makes it good or bad. If God can get the money through you, he will get it to you. Water which passes through the pipe, to its destination, also wets the pipe. People who preach against prosperity, will never have it. You can not...

    Giving Generously

    Saturday, June 4, 2016, 5:30 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Oh, To Be Like Thee.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read 2 Corinthians 9 (ESV). The Grace of Giving (summary 2 Co. 8:1-9:5) Paul addressed the Corinthian church here in the matter of giving generously to fellow...
