  • 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

    Some Requests

    Can you on CF pray for a woman my mom has met at whose daughter who had her baby way too soon and the baby died. Please pray for that family, I can't imagine what that is like. Grief is hard, and a premature baby like that must be very hard on the parents and the family. Also, my mom has had...

    Is time too short?

    Today I spent the time thinking that if I were to die today heaven would not be the place where I am going. Although Christ is who I profess as lord and I believe God raised him from the dead. I'm living in darkness (in my sin.) I'm so stubborn I don't want to give up my pleasurable youthful...

    God sees your suffering and cares!

    Some people say that God does not respond to pain, but only to our faith. I am not sure about that! How can a merciful, loving, gracious and compassionate God, not care or respond when we are suffering? It just does not go like this! God responds to our faith, but also to our suffering! His...

    Worship Is A Lifestyle

    Lately, my days have been filled with worship music. Sometimes I'm using headphones, sometimes speakers in the room I'm in, sometimes playing through all the speakers in my house. At first, it was a way to forget about the stress for a few minutes. Now, I'm almost always listening to...

    The Great Motivator

    Sunday, April 23, 2017, 8:00 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “He Lifted Our Burdens.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Acts 8:1-13 (NIV). Saul Approved (v. 1a) And Saul approved of their killing him. When Stephen was persecuted, and then killed for his faith in Jesus...

    Has anyone else ever felt this way?

    I am truly the worst person in the world. I do not say this to garner pity or sympathy. I hurt people I am very close to. I have walls I put up against anyone I get close to. I feel like all they are going to do is "get me where they want me" and then "laugh at me". Sort of like a puppy who...

    Pain and sorrow

    I heard in a video that some people experience depression, pain and heavy sorrow when they are under spiritual attack, even if saved, as do I in either case. How can one fight this as I am like salm 88 where everybody has left me and my company is darkness? I pray often. Do good deeds and try...

    Proof God created evil

    Please either find the mistake in this logic, or find the false premise: 1. God created free agents 2. Free agents have the potential to do evil, e 3. Potential has a non-zero probability, p, where 0<p<1 4. Therefore, over infinite time, the probability of a free agent to perform evil...

    Save Me

    Sunday, October 23, 2016, 5:30 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “More Love to Thee, O Christ.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Psalm 69 (Select vv. ESV). Up to My Neck (vv. 1-4a) Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck. I sink in deep mire, where...

    FORGIVENESS IS NOT ACCEPTANCE

    One of the hardest things to do in life is forgive someone who has hurt us! Pain is real and seems to never go away. If you look back at a time in your life when someone hurt you, you can still feel the pain as though it just happened! This is why we hate to talk about times in our life when...

    Dreams and Visions vs Family

    I was once in a relationship for two years with the wrong man. He didn't treat me the way I deserved to be treated. For almost a year I stayed in prayer, close to God. I soaked in Pastor Joel Osteen. He said that since the bible says to ask and you shall recieve, then you must remind God of what...

    Why Must We Suffer?

    Friday, March 11, 2016, 8:15 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song, “Open My Heart.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read John 5:1-15 (ESV). Jesus our Healer (vv. 1-9a) After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep...
