  • 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.

    Glorify God!

    This is not my testimony of how I came to Christ. Everyone on this forum knows the basics of that - and I've never known how to write that down cohesively, nor do I yet know. But this - this thread is because what God does for each of us He does to bring Glory and Honor and Praise to His Name -...

    God is Able

    This morning the Lord Jesus impressed it upon my heart to share with you a testimony of a miracle he performed in my life 10 years ago, when I was 62 years old. It had to do with a song he gave me to write at that time titled, “For Our Nation.” And so the Lord led me today to make a talk video...

    The beginning, was a love story (selah)

    Hi there, So yes, it is typically not read as such, but the story of Adam and Eve in the garden was a love story - Adam and Eve were in love with each other! To them, God was a joy, to be pursued and beheld. Any attempt to describe the beginning in terms of science, falls short of the one...

    London Mafia To The Catholic Church--john Pridmore's Story

    I don't often seek out people's personal stories of how they found God (or rather, how God found them!--John 15:16). Yet this one really stood out. I was intrigued by John Pridmore when I saw a video of him at a men's church group, which I unfortunately can't find online....but this is another...

    Why and How I Do What I Do

    My testimony of God’s calling on my life March 20, 2022 When I was growing up in the gatherings of the church we used to have missionaries come to our church, at least once a year to share with us what they were doing overseas. In the old days they would give slide presentations showing what...

    The Holy Spirit: expanded remembrance (many memories), or greater detail in recall?

    Hi there, So just to get your cogs moving: the remembrance or recall of the Holy Spirit, which is it? Does the Holy Spirit embrace many memories, or does He focus on greater detail within a specific memory? My understanding is that we have to seek Him to chose, on His terms - if He wants it to...

    Even if there are adaptations & throwbacks & adaptations & throwbacks, nothing "new" evolves?

    Hi there, So I am pretty sure I would get burned, by Evolutionists, if I brought this up: but I really want to know an answer! If there are adaptations, in a given species and those adaptations don't turn out to be critical, but instead become throwbacks to past generations of the same species...

    They say "Peace! Peace!" but what they mean: changes from generation to generation!

    Hi there, So Jesus warned that the time would be coming, when they considered it a favour to God if they killed us - which is true, but deeper than this is the fact that what they think they will kill you for: changes from generation to generation. Initially they meant "Peace without life...

    Hi there, So I just want to work something out for myself, with regard to the Holy Spirit, in mental health. I take myself as an example and question what it is that caused me to have a mental health condition. What the Spirit says to me, is that "I advised that you develop a mental health...

    Hi there, Yes, so just to bring the healing of the Lord into focus: we can see our mental health conditions, as they hang on the Cross. We can see depression there, bipolar, schizophrenia, autism, mania, tourettes, aspergers, all of it - we can see Jesus suffering for these things at the...
