  • 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

    Keep your distance

    Hello everyone, As I was deleting my previous post on social media, I was thinking about how it is ridiculous that I am doing so. I was wishing my fiancee's uncle a happy birthday from my fiancee's cousin's page when I remembered that him and his family don't want me calling him uncle even...

    Are we supposed to say grace before eating?

    Hello, CF! 1 Timothy 4:3-5 teaches that all foods are sanctified by the word of God and by prayer and that they were "created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth" (NKJV). Similar passages to consider are Matthew 15:36; Acts of the Apostles 27:35; 1...

    I have a background where I was involved in witchcraft and the occult. I was also involved in a lot of new age practices. During that time, I was involved in a lot of tarot card reading.

    Lawlessness will abound, but not in Spirit

    Hi there, So for context where I live now has never had any problems with riots - I truly am blessed. However, I was looking at a video about "lawlessness abounding" and I was truly humbled. The way out of the dark is there for the world, if they need it: but they have to trust Jesus. That's...

    Divine authority of believers?

    Where does the teaching come from that believers have divine authority over their households (specifically relating to prayer, at least)? And what does it mean? I don't know if this is controversial or not, but it feels so to me, as I do not see the scripture to back it up. Thoughts? I am...

    Prayer IV, of St. Macarius the Great question
