  • 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

    Will This Pandemic Lead To Repentance?

    Greetings, all. I have a friend who believes the COVID-19 pandemic will eventually lead to repentance and revival in America. The following prophecy uttered in 1986 may lend credence to this belief: "I see a plague coming on the world, and the bars, churches and government will shut down. The...

    He Will Not Disappoint

    I live in the United States of America. I was born here in 1949. America is what I know. This is where God placed me. And, so a lot of what he gives me to share is related to my nation. But, some of this may apply to other nations, too, so if you don’t live here, just let the Lord speak to your...

    Why no calls for repentance to stop the Coronavirus?

    Perhaps I have missed it, but other than Trump calling for a national day of prayer, there has been little leadership of the church to call the world to repentance to stop many of the ills our society has. The root of COV-19 is spiritual, most (myself included) have been too complacent, worldly...
