  • 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.

    I've been waiting 7 years to get married, what should I do?

    We met when I was 16 and he was 24 (I'm now 24 and he 32). We pretty much fell in love at first sight. I didn't want to date him at first because of the age gap, but after a few months, it became too irresistible to refuse his advances. We were head over heels for each other. I wanted to save...

    Proclamation

    In my most desperate time of complete sadness and confusion I decided that life in its entirety is both good and bad and I was left feeling very hopeless. I figured out that for every spirit I experienced, every season of my life there was a spirit and season of opposite value. So I said to...

    When Your Church Fails You

    I'm forced to follow my parents to whatever church they want to go. For the past ten or so years that church has been the one pastored by my uncle. The church is a disaster. Everything there falls apart. The leadership is impossible. My uncle's family is a wreck and he continually ruins...

    Being loving

    This is what Jesus has taught me about walking the Narrow Path. Being Loving Being loving to others is being patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and looking past other’s faults.
