  • 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

    Strength To Endure The Dry Season

    For around a year now, I've been working through some challenges; some internal, some external. In some way, I'm equating this to a dry season. However, I'm not talking about a spiritually dry season, as I know what THAT is like. In fact, this is very much the opposite. I'm more at peace...

    The Lord is My Strength

    The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear...

    Give Me Courage, Lord

    This song encouraged my heart yesterday: I believe that one of Satan’s greatest weapons against us is his lies and deceptions. Through the use of lies and deceptions, his objective is to get us to be afraid and to doubt God. As well, he wants us to question God’s sovereignty over our lives, his...

    Are You a Slave or a King? (PART 1)

    “I think the person who takes a job in order to live—that is to say, for the money—has turned himself into a slave.”—Joseph Campbell. Many people have become slaves to their jobs, and they are in no way living for their true destiny and purpose in life; people are struggling hard to make ends...

    To God be Praised and Glorified

    Blessed last night, very Blessed. I haven't been able to sleep well in several years. Waking every 1 -2 hours. Husband said, every 10 to 15 minutes I'd pop my head up as if something had frightened me. I never had memory of that. Little by little this year my sleep improved, from 2 then 3 then...

    I need encouragement.

    I need advice on moving out. And starting a new life. I need to know that others can see the picture like me and I am not the bad person here. I've been unhappily living at home for the last few years. My mom is super controlling draining jealous and shameless. I know it doesn't make me look...

    Your Lord is With You

    When life throws its curve balls at us, which it will, our natural reaction may be to immediately feel fear. Satan will use these occasions to try to get us to doubt God or to feel as though we are without resource. He will try to get us to feel as though our circumstances have control over our...
