  • 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.

    He Who Has An Ear, Let Him Hear!

    In the book of Revelation, our Lord told John, "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.” Rev 1:11 John then wrote what was revealed to him concerning these seven churches (each their own church...

    What Is The Kingdom Of Heaven?

    This Video message seeks to answer the question, "What is the kingdom of heaven?" The Kingdom of heaven is in our midst. We, through the gospel, can become citizens of this kingdom if we choose to make a full surrender of our lives in this world. Today's manmade church system has drifted far...

    How Does Salvation WORK

    I grew up in church, and I understand that His death and the resurrection are essential to salvation, but I have been asked before and have even asked myself the same question. "HOW does it WORK, though." Why is it that the death fo Jesus on the cross and His subsequent resurrection is enough...

    Parable, A Kingdom Divided

    Mark 3:20-35 Luke 11:14-26 Matthew 12:22-50 Jesus describes two kingdoms at work, and at war as we see in the Bible, but both have something in common. Both kingdoms are whole and not divided against itself to wage war or make peace. This parable should not be mistaken for Jesus defending...

    Is Loving Jesus Back Required For Salvation?

    No. This is at least my stance. All you have to do is believe and proclaim Jesus as Lord. See Romans 10:9-10. Recently an atheist wrote "Jesus is at the door, knock knock, let me in. Why? So I can save you. From what? From what Im going to do to you if you don't let me in." Letting Jesus in is...

    Must I love God to be saved?

    I am a person who doesn’t really love anyone or anything. I feel a little bit dead in that sense. This always made me feel like I’ve no hope because if I can’t love myself or my family then how am I meant to love someone whom I can’t see, Jesus/God? And if I can’t love God how on earth can I...

    We Must Deny Ourselves Surrendering All To Have A Place In Heaven!

    Jesus said: “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls. When he found one very precious pearl, he went...

    What Does It Mean To Serve The Kingdom Of Heaven?

    In Mathew 25:31-46 Jesus tells us, "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne.

    Faith "of" Christ Vs Faith "in" Christ

    Faith begins with & is worthless without, Christ's Faith as the foundation: Heb 12: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
