• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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

I challenge all of us, including myself, to go out of our way and to really help someone this week, and then tell them about Christ.

Also, if you want an even greater challenge, attend a church of a different denomination or religion for a day and learn more about other people's beliefs. You must first truly listen to them before you ever even mention the name of your faith.

I just got back from STORM Co. (Service To Others Really Matters Company), where we (a group of 15 youth, a pastor and his wife) travelled to 'outback' Australia for a week and just helped out around the Aboriginal community. We ran a Kids Club for the kids, painted a house for one of the churches there, organised a fun run, etc. I'd just like to impress on how much it does mean to a person when you go out of your way to help them. It's an uplifting experience that both of you will never forget!
There's a good saying that goes, "Go out and preach - use words if necessary." So when you go out this week, preach God's love by doing helping someone out.
Great idea Esran!
Smile and God Bless,
Steffi

I just bought a book entitled "So What's the Difference" and it compares Christianity to many other religions out there. I presume its going to be very helpful in being able to understand where others are coming from when reaching out to them. Anyone read it before?
