  • 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.

This nature causes us to want to make everything fit within the framework of our own understanding, and when it does not it can effect...

    Total Surrender

    “The doctrine of justification by faith—a Biblical truth, and a blessed relief from sterile legalism and unavailing self-effort—has in our time fallen into evil company and been interpreted by many in such manner as actually to bar men from the knowledge of God. The whole transaction of...

    Love For Him

    I have never loved Jesus, or God. This is the truth. I am heartbroken. I have been lying to myself for my entire life. The only emotion that I have ever felt towards God and Jesus is fear of punishment, and a duty to obey. That is not love. I have been told that the only way I can truly...

    Is it wrong to sometimes not be able to live solely for God?

    Hi, I know that God promises us our future spouses, and that almost everyone has one predestined (if you disagree then keep it to yourselves, it's not the point of this thread whether spouses are predetermined or not). Although I have friends, sometimes I can't help but feel lonely and instead...
