  • 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

    My Special Place

    Psalm 116:1-4 ESV I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish...

    Matthew 18:3

    Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. That is not a very understood or lived out verse in our culture, it was not then and certainly not now. I , for many reason had to become an...

    Trees of Life Dying !!!

    I grew up loving all God's creations but on those hot Texas farms , I really learned to love trees. You only have to stand under one when it is 100 degrees to see God's grand design. When I saw this story it made me sad. God knows my heart for an insect much less these special trees. There are...

    Fear And Frustration

    Here I am past midnight up because of my anxiety and because of how crappy I've been feeling. Some days during the day I can find positive things and can appreciate smaller things in life. I can laugh and smile and thank God for small blessings. But some days like today where I got such poor...

    What to do when others ask too much of you?

    When living life as a father, mother, pastor, friend, sister, brother, aunt, uncle etc. and so many around you know you are a Christian. Many think of Christians as perfect, holier than thou, happy, never make mistakes. What do you do when people around you expect too much of you? You do not...

    Abundance of Grace

    Through One Man Romans 5:12-14 ESV Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Yet death reigned from...

    Stop!!!

    We need people (preachers, teachers) to stop teaching what they were taught and start teaching what the Bible actually says.... ie - some believe Mt Sinai is in northern Israel, yet the Bible tells us just to Moses getting the Commandments outside of the Sinai desert at Rephiudim...

    Walking Past

    There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh...

    Life

    If one was to be asked what is the central proclamation of the Christian gospel many would answer like me "Jesus Christ is Lord." If we are asked what is a core belief some would answer "life." Jesus said he had come to give life and to give it more abundantly and John says that his life is...

    Is it wrong to sometimes not be able to live solely for God?

    Hi, I know that God promises us our future spouses, and that almost everyone has one predestined (if you disagree then keep it to yourselves, it's not the point of this thread whether spouses are predetermined or not). Although I have friends, sometimes I can't help but feel lonely and instead...
