  • 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

    For those seeking marriage

    "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God & His Righteousness, and all these things will be given unto you." Francis Chan is a fantastic Christan speaker; definitely look up more from him if you want a passionate voice on all this good Kingdom of God stuff. He's normally much more passionate than he...

    Do you express emotions when you're alone? Are believers ever alone?

    Loneliness is the obvious problem of single life. And as Christianity in general seems to heavily lean towards getting coupled up, I'd like to remind other believers out there that we are never alone when we have strong faith. He is always with us even though our ungrateful attitude often...

    Total strangers marry

    A new show on DEFY station. This tv station is becoming the most intriguing station on TV. I saw the previews of this show and had no interest in it. But Saturday night after surfing channels I landed on it. Always figuring this show to be a audience grabber with no substance. Several couples...

    Frustrated with the lack of singles groups?

    Is anyone else getting fed up with churches just throwing the singles off to the side, ignoring them completely, or straight up keeping them apart? I remember 10-15 or so years ago, nearly every congregation had some sort of a singles ministry where there was volunteering, study, and no...

    Is h.s. the upper age limit for your youth group? When should they move on? Age 19? 20?

    What if it's a small church with no formal college or 'young singles' group to move on to, or any other Sunday morning Bible study group? When should they step into the same boat as every other adult and just have to accept it? When should they give up the line 'but that's where all my friends...

    Lack of Singles Ministry

    In my brief research, I've found two primary approaches churches take to singles. One approach is to provide some kind of singles ministry (might be called college and career) up until around 26 yrs old. Some might have some ongoing singles potlucks or other events, but after that age it is...
