  • 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

    An Original Work / June 8, 2019 They die so young in wars, In suicides and overdoses. The fatalities are many. So many living without hope: They drown their pain in drugs, In alcohol and other addictions. They play video games hours on end, And engross their minds with porn. They are looking...

    The rapture means temporary popularity with the world; but the rupture means suicide for many

    Hi there, So Paul said we will be changed and meet the Lord in the air, but I want you to think about something that we must be ready for - even if the Lord tarries: suicide. If Newton's law that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, is true, we must consider the rupture...

    Death of my son

    My walk-in faith took a turn when I was 52 years old, just after the death of my only child. I was living my life as a “normal person” or so I thought. In my younger years I believed we were good old boys, worked hard, played hard, drank hard, dishonest at times, had some hatred and anger but it...

    suicide ment

    Is it really possible for someone who has suffered so much, prayed and still take their life become a candidate of heaven? Can God pity someone and just have mercy on them even in death.

    Burial of Suicides in Consecrated Ground

    Suicides used to be denied Christian burial, and often were buried in the land outside the bounds of the formal Churchyard. Particularly egregious examples were buried in more secular locales such as crossroads. The justification seems that to kill yourself, entails rejection of God's will...

    Will I be forgiven

    I have been brought here by all the sin I have indulged in over the years and it was tearing me apart. I cheated on my husband with a dear friend of mine. I wanted to stop but instead of dealing with the issues in my marriage I ran to another man. A man I didn't love and every time we were...
