  • 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

    The institution of marriage IS relevant!

    Hi Everyone, Pop-culture would undoubtedly disagree with this post's title. Someone once said, “marriage is a veritable petri-dish for character development”, and I can’t begin to enumerate the benefits of having spent 35 years with my best friend and wife. This past year has solidified that in...

    feedback on my music

    So I made this mini album in the last few months. I played all the instrument and singed and recorded and mixed the whole thing, some of it in our empty church building during the pandemic :) The title is The Prayer Project, because each of the songs was kind of inspired by a part of the Lord's...
