  • 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

    Psalms in Song

    I am reading through the Psalms throughout the year and love to hear or sing hymns based on the words of the Psalm. I’d like to propose that we share songs of Psalms based on the Psalms we may be reading each day, or a Psalm that particularly touches you. Today, my reading plan has Psalms 101...

    Is the hymn "I Gave My Life For Thee" inaccurate?

    The hymn I Gave My Life For Thee has the following verse (emphasis added): My Father's house of light, My glory-circled throne I left for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone It appears to present the speaker, Jesus, as having a "glory-circled throne" that He left when He came to this...

    Being Made Right

    This is a new song, which is a 4-part harmony hymn that the Lord gave me to write. This song, just like the others, is not for entertainment purposes, though. The singer is me, and I have an old voice that comes, and it goes. So, don’t listen for a great sound or recording, or to be entertained...

    A Musically Broken Christian's Frustration

    Simply put, my heart's just not into singing or listening to Christian music (or most kinds of music for that matter, especially ones with words). I do think that not having grown up in the church has made it harder for me to get into it, especially when it sounds, forgive me for saying this...
