  • 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.

    By Strength or by the Spirit?

    «Then he [the angel, Zechariah 4:1] said to me [the prophet Zechariah], "This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven's Armies.

    What's Our Purpose?

    Life gets hard sometimes, doesn’t it? In this world we will have troubles and hardships. But, this world is not our home. We are just passing through. We don’t belong here. Our home is in heaven with God, if we are his by faith in Jesus Christ. So, that should encourage us, that this is not...

    Time... one thing we cannot change!

    So... what do you do when you cannot rewind time? I heard a preacher say something that is so simple yet filled me with fear. He said " There is something in life that always moves forward, you cannot slow it down, you cannot stop it, you cannot rewind it no matter how much you pray and cry and...

For most it cannot be put away from their daily walk and is a constant reminder to us as to why we oppose the world and its ways. The bible is more than just the recording...

    Don't Sweat The Small Stuff !

    Declare once and for all that the law is dead! There are laws and then there are commandments. The former being temporal and latter being eternal. There are considerations for both, especially as it related to the jews, which we are not. God's intent is not for us to go back to the old ways...

    When It Feels Like No One Is Listening...

    Does it ever feel like you're just talking to your ceiling? Even though I know God is always there, sometimes it's as if he isn't listening to me. Or he's just looking down on me, unresponsive. Sometimes his silence is infuriating; why does he leave me when I'm in so much pain? It's a hard...

    The Practical Christian Series. - Strife.

    In God’s world, strife is an abomination and so it should be for the Christian. This is not the same as having Righteous indignation for something that is appalling.

    Genesis 15:5 My Shield Is The Lord

    In Genesis 15:5 the LORD tell Abram "I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward." Is this not true for all the children of God that place their faith in Him? Was it only true of Abraham? If we were to live our lives with the thinking that God was our protecting shield, would He then...
