  • 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

    Slowly Embracing Catholicism, Rough Patch

    While, somewhere in my heart, I believe the Catholic Church to be the real church, in some way, I am battling something which I will probably battle for months or even years. There's so many uncharitable 'debates' between Protestants and Catholics over the intercession of the Saints, with the...

    Pray for My Lost Father

    I've been mistreated by my dad... he's cheated on Mom many times... I used to admire him when I was younger... I wish that he could see the light, honestly. (The fact he preaches in groups without us, overseas in a compound, eats at me.) Pray for him.

    A Connection With Christ.

    In the midst of my sorrow I threw a fit. I threw a fit and called up my father who I haven't spoken to for awhile due to our complicated past with the intention of "letting him have it". I was upset and angry. After talking for a bit he revealed to me with what I can't believe were wholly good...

    When It Feels Like No One Is Listening...

    Does it ever feel like you're just talking to your ceiling? Even though I know God is always there, sometimes it's as if he isn't listening to me. Or he's just looking down on me, unresponsive. Sometimes his silence is infuriating; why does he leave me when I'm in so much pain? It's a hard...
