  • 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.

    Finding The Strength To Go On video, Fr. Anthony Messeh

    Over the years, actually decades I've used and collected various Christian resources that have helped me with my various troubles and issues. This one sermon I've recommenced a number of times to people going through tough times and it is preached from a "rising star" (so to speak) of the...

    In This Hope

    Romans 8:24-25 ESV For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. God’s plan of salvation for us is that we should die with Christ to sin and live with him to righteousness...

    Serving The Kingdom

    As servants of the kingdom of heaven we are called to surrender our lives in this world to include wealth, fame, etc. to serve the will of the Father. There are far too many who make the claim to know Christ and yet in the end He (Christ) will tell, "Depart from Me, I never knew you!"

    God Is Sovereign..

    I am a firm believer in the sovereignty of God in the salvation of the sinner. This for two reasons. First, there are many Biblical evidences for it (Deuteronomy 7:6-8; John 1:12-13; John 6:37-45; Romans 8-9, etc.). Second, it alone is, and can be, anyone’s certain hope of eternal life. The word...

    I Am Not Afraid

    It's hard to need something so badly, to feel so very desperate and to only be able to beg God to deliver. It's hard to be down here while He's up there, feeling so very far away. It's even harder to just let go and trust that He's got it. Sometimes I start to feel like He's forgotten me or...

    Hope or No Hope

    Jeremiah 29:11 ESV “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” For Welfare God has a design for each one of our lives. This design is his intended purpose for us. And, that is that we be conformed to (match)...

    Commitments; of Mice or Men, But Not of God

    John 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. 24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, 25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man...
