  • 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.

    Look at your mental health condition, as it hangs on the Cross

    Hi there, Yes, so just to bring the healing of the Lord into focus: we can see our mental health conditions, as they hang on the Cross. We can see depression there, bipolar, schizophrenia, autism, mania, tourettes, aspergers, all of it - we can see Jesus suffering for these things at the...

    Take the world down, this cross is going to stay!

    Yes, Brethren! We have the message of Christ, it was to not give in, not despair, only hope, cherish, love - it is His Holy Spirit, that completes the message of the Cross for another generation, and from the Cross, we can see it all come to pass. That is the will of the Son, that it all be...

    Works continue, long after faith is gone (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a painfully obvious point to make, in the manner that James spoke of about showing his faith by his works (from memory, James): In other words, we do not get to Heaven by works, but that does not change the fact that the faith (at least for the faith of its own sake) will...

    Help me understand something the Lord taught me: "joy is in the doing through surrendering"

    Hi there, So this is like a fragment, of something the Holy Spirit inspired me with and I wonder what you make of it: It is a little similar to "my strength is made perfect through weakness" found in the letters, but the emphasis is on "building" (rather than "making"). It is about building...

    There is something God can't create, before you get to Heaven! He's waiting to share it with you!

    Hi there, So this is a really simple thought, but typically we think of God as someone who created in the past. But God is not just a God of the past, He is also a God of the future. He has created everything, yes, but there is something (even many things) that God cannot create for you, until...

    I did it! I stopped thinking about Evolution, and started to think about God!

    Yes, I have struggled with how to answer Evolution, for a long time now: today, I actually got to the point where I stopped thinking about it - what it meant - and started to think about God, how He cares and loves me. The point is that you can do this as a rule - that's what is new, it's not...

    So you get to Heaven, and there is still so much more you could 'evolve' - disappointed?

    Hi there, So this is basically the problem of the faith, when it comes to "Evolution" - that is, this is what people with faith object to, when they say "I would rather just be in Heaven (with God), than 'evolve' - that is, in a way that prevents me from being with God." What exactly is enough...

    May I Add to Your Garden

    Oh Father I ask, Please make my trees fruitful, May I add to Your garden, Let them be useful. Oh Father I ask, Please guide my pen, May my words point to You, In Your direction. Oh Father I ask, Please use my hands, As extensions of You, They’re Yours to command. Oh Father I ask, Lift my...

    Your Will

    Oh Father, May my voice speak Your Word, May my being reveal, Your sharp two edged sword. Oh Father, May I accept all You ask, May You dictate my load, And set all my tasks. Oh Father, Command me to sow, Decide what I reap, Your will is my gold. Oh Father, You orchestrate all, Your will’s...

    Just as a general word of advice, walking with the Spirit, starts with being prepared to be angry at

    ...the Devil. The Devil will have his own reasons, for doing what he is doing - but if you leave him to act unconfronted, he will make your life worse, in so many ways. You really have to be prepared to be angry at the Devil. He does not know one sin from another, he does not know how to...

A smaller church endeavoring to do big things for God. We have a heart for the city and the world to reach...

    How are we going to deal with the Christian "Stereotype" (the World's stereotype for us)?

    Hi there, So you could probably approach this, from an infinitely large number of angles, I just wondered what you would think: specifically, on the basis of your entitlement to be loved by the Brethren, but as the world sees it? What I mean is, you are entitled to be loved on the basis of the...

    Believer, hear O believer: you are going to have to repent, to the end, to have been saved

    Hi there, So I have struggled with this so much, and I can save you time: it won't make a difference - your salvation - unless you repent to the end (you really must commit). This is the seed that brings forth a hundred, sixty and thirty fold - the seed that takes root, and goes beyond...

    What has God said to our generation? It's heroes?

    Hi there, So yes, anything prophetic you can offer, here - would be great! I am just thinking about how to stay current with the work of God - like that He says He is with the poor and the destitute, in our generation specifically those that don't have a family home or a steady job. I don't...

    In faith, you may need to offer a gift, as a sign (that you believe you have recovered)

    Hi there, So as a testimony, if you have been struggling with mental health, you may need to offer a gift as a sign (that you believe you have recovered). This is Matthew 8:4. This will help you, not to look to yourself, for recovery - but also, it will give glory to God. You don't have to be...

    Has anyone ever been saved, by listening to Christian music?

    Hi there, Just wanted to present a show of faith, for people who have been saved, by Christian music. I was challenged spiritually, by worldly music and have slowly recovered. I was just wondering if maybe the opposite had happened, if Christian music had the power to save... Anyway, I imagine...
