  • 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

    The Lord's Prayer

    Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be your name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the...

    So Then, This Is How You Should Pray

    Most have prayed or at least heard what is commonly referred to as the “Lord’s Prayer”: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our...

    A question for those who attend liturgical churches

    Do you ever get tired of saying the Lord's Prayer, one of the Creeds (Apostolic/Nicene), singing the Gloria (in some churches this occurs after reciting a creed), singing the Doxology (usually after the offering has been passed), "passing the peace", reciting a corporate confession of sin...

    The Lord's Prayer (Carolean's Prayer)

    I was listening to this song from Sabaton, and I didn't know The Lord's Prayer could sound fantastic on Swedish and Power Metal! I even learnt it in Swedish! Why do you think a non-Christian band can make me have those feelings? Do you know any song that has a verse of the Bible as part of the...

    Battle Strategy: Thankfulness

    Imagine if you will a wagon with a driver being pulled by two horses. The two horses are your mind and your emotions. The driver is your will and the cart is your body. The two horses, your mind and emotions, will take your body, the cart, wherever your will, the driver, wants to go. Simple...

    Strange Tingling Heavy Feeling When Praying

    Hi Dear Brothers and Sisters, I would just like to ask for your interpretation of this strange tightness I feel over my left chest each time I'm at Church praying/singing the Lord's Prayer. I grew up in a very religious home where we were nurtured and raised to be prayerful. I studied in a...

    Pope Francis Wants to Change Wording of the Lord's Prayer

    According to this article, Pope Francis wants to change the wording of the Lord's Prayer from "lead us not into temptation" to "do not let us fall into temptation," which is a French translation. The theological shift (to us) is good, but I'm unsure of changing such longstanding wording.

    Animated Video explains "hallowed be Your Name" in 7 minutes

    I think many Christians, even those who have seriously studied the Bible for years, don't have a clear understanding of the meaning of "Hallowed be Your Name". The meaning is powerful and beautiful once you get it. It may be the most important prayer request in the universe (in a way). I...
