  • 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

    OUR HOME

    Our citizenship is in heaven. PHILIPPIANS 3:20 Christians are not citizens of this world. The Greek word for “citizenship” in today’s verse refers to a colony of foreigners. In a secular source, it is used to describe a capital city that kept the names of its citizens on a register...

    Institutes of the Christian Religion (Book 1 Chapters 1-3)

    1. State of the Question This is a question between Augustinians and Anti-Augustinians. The former believing that God from all eternity having elected some to everlasting life, had a special reference to their salvation in the mission and work of his Son.

    Math: Maybe Not a Mystic Language After All

    1 Chronicles 21:1–22:19; 2 Timothy 2:14–26; Psalm 86:1–87:7 In a world of metrics, it’s easy to become obsessed with statistics and start to quantify every aspect of our lives. Stats can even become a type of scorekeeping between churches or pastors: “We have more members than you do.” We may...

    The sphere of instrumentality

    ‘Jesus said, Take ye away the stone … Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.’ John 11:39, 44 suggested further reading: Matthew 15:1–20 The manufacture of new commandments is a very fascinating occupation for some people. You must not do this or that or the other, till one feels...

    Where’s Your Treasure?

    Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. Matthew 6:20 Leaving this earth and going to heaven is not a popular thought in the contemporary church. The increasing emphasis on success, prosperity, and personal problem–solving reflects our earthbound perspective. It’s also hard for us to...

    The king in his beauty

    'Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.’ Isaiah 33:17 suggested further reading: John 12:12–19 Some of the worst of tyrants have delighted to call themselves kings by divine right, emperors by the will of God, monarchs by the grace of God...

    An Expectation of Heaven

    Seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1 The apostle Paul was preoccupied with heaven; he knew few earthly comforts. He was beaten, stoned, left for dead, deprived of necessities, and frequently disappointed by people. But he had no...
