  • 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

    My Relationship is Crumbling and I’m the Reason Why

    I made this account just to post this thread; I was hoping for some third party insight from men/women of God that aren’t directly involved in my life because it’s a humiliating story. *WARNING: VERY MATURE TOPIC* I was born and raised in Bible Belt Michigan and moved to San Francisco a year...

    The sin of Pride is very subtle

    While at work, I've often caught myself thinking, "If I'd done this work, it would have been done right!". Now sometimes, this is accurate, but more than once, it's just a reaction I've had because something was done slightly different than how I would have done it, but it was still good. I've...

    Humility vs. Pride

    Mark 9:33-35 ESV And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If...

    Need (urgent) input on whether this is OCD.

    Hi everyone. My counselor/pastor suggested I need to try trusting other believers to help me discern what is coming from my OCD and what is true, so I thought I'd ask here since I have a dilemma. I have to decide today, so input would be super helpful! As some background information, I really...

    Judged Unfairly

    As Servants of Christ 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 NIV This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. We, as believers in Jesus Christ, need to...

    Temptation to Stray

    Envy and Pride Psalm 73:1-9 ESV Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For they have no pangs until death...

    Definition Of Wilderness

    When we started on our journey in 2007 we had a vague idea of what a wilderness season in God meant. We had read many of the Christian classics, Tozer, Guyon, John of the Cross, Thomas a Kempis, Theresa of Avila and others describing wilderness seasons. From there we learned a little about what...

    The Practical Christian Series. - Strife.

    In God’s world, strife is an abomination and so it should be for the Christian. This is not the same as having Righteous indignation for something that is appalling. Whenever strife exists, then so will every device of satan including confusion, usurping and distrust. All these retard or put to...

    How to prevent from corrupting one of the goals you set for yourself?

    Hello everyone! I'm new around here :) Quite some time ago I've been thinking about my life in general, my performances, etc and I came to the idea of setting some personal goals. I imagined many good things for me personally, many achievements and I personally felt good while at it, but...

    Destroying Vanity

    I feel like I have been to selfish, careless, and reckless lately in my words and life. How do I deny myself? And the one who has been forgiven much loves much, so I wonder if I have unbelief about my forgiveness since I do not love God as much as I should for my sins if they are forgiven. Does...

    Random Musings

    If you have a handicap placard because you tote your disabled mother around every so often and you regularly use the placard for yourself…there's as much shame on you as the person who has no placard. There are times I say nothing when I’m listening to you. There’s a reason for that. I...

    Pride and Lust (Need Prayer)

    God has seemed to open my eyes to two of my chief sins in my life. The LORD cast me down with guilt after I barked at two people for endorsing a Bethel Redding church event and how I behaved was inexcusable. I also struggle with sexual temptation and can really be carried away at the slightest...

    Prayer against vanity

    Please pray for my vanity to disappear. I get feelings all the time while doing some things like I'm hoping for them to tell me thanks or that I did good. I considered not posting a thread like this but felt guilty about hiding sin so I'm admitting I do feel like a Pharisee sometimes, like oh I...

    Pride problems

    Anybody know some good scriptures to take a proud or stubborn person down a few notches? I struggle a lot with thinking I'm not saved and I'm not asking for anyone to make it worse I just mean verses about how futile and insignificant and weak and useless humans are without God's help.

    Tuesday, April 11, 2017, 4:50 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Seek the Lord.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Zechariah 11 (quoting vv. 1-3 ESV). Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars! Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, for the...
