  • 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.

    Prayers for understanding and acceptance

    I have been doing some research (more so reading the Controversial Christian Theology threads) and the doctrine of hell is really shaking me up.

    The kid next door and his family: salvation prayer request

    So, I live next to this kid who rather detests me for my Christian faith, but I try to love him anyway. He seems extremely angry and bitter. I think he's a strong atheist. Please pray that he and his whole family get saved.

    About 15 years ago I was sitting in the grass in a field praying and just thinking about the cross when a gigantic crashing voice exploded in my chest saying my name. Strange thing was that before I heard it, everything else went away. All the birds went silent, no wind, nothing. And then boom...
